I just got home from getting mine out (and I drove the 911 to and from). The doc is a corvette guy, so the conspiracist in me thinks he was double plus un-gentle. Actually, the top 2 came out in less than 10 minutes - like butter. The bottom two were a different story. The LR one had to be drilled into pieces, and then it came out. The LL - the one that was giving me the pain that necessitated removal in the first place, was a royal b!tch! That was the only one that hurt, and the two assistants had to hold me down while he drilled through the tooth so he could inject novacaine directly into the root. That was the only way I was going to be able to tolerate it. After that, it wasn't so bad, but it was still 4 hours of fun, all told.
