Is the removal of a complete bony wisdom tooth more painful than an impacted one?

I am having all four removed. My 2 upper are impacted. The lower left is complete bony and has a cyst around it, the lower right is completely bony and is horizontal. Is it more complicated, and painful for the lower 2?

I wouldn't exactly use the terms of being more painful. It is going to require more work and usually the removal of more bone to get those teeth out. You should receive pain medication that will help you with post-operative discomfort. Don't forget the ice and keep yourself elevated to help with the swelling! P/S: if you're going to a surgeon relax, this is their job and this is what they do everyday. You're in good hands! Good luck!
