I had a cracked tooth removed a year ago. The dentist was going to replace a crown that failed but the tooth cracked in between getting the temp and permanent crowns. It was really the worst pain I have endured. The oral surgeon got me in and tried to numb me with local injections but the tooth was infected and they couldn't get me numb, so I went under a general. If it is not infected, they should be able to do it with just a local. If you are not in a bunch of pain, they may put you on antibiotics prior to knock down any infection so the local is more likely to work.
