It's a long story, but I usually have to transfer into the dentist chair every time I get my teeth cleaned. It can be done with two people who know what they're doing.
I don't see why they cannot put you on an IV drip that puts you in a twilight situation. You're not asleep per se, but you're not really going to know what's going on either. I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled a long time ago by an oral surgeon. The Army wouldn't pull impacted wisdom teeth without using an oral surgeon and I can tell you that it was not as bad an experience as I have seen other people deal with. Good luck.
