Suggestion:
I am 99.9% sure that yes, you will be under anesthesia. You may call the oral surgeon's office
to make sure. Also whoever takes you to your appt. should be able to get any prescriptions
filled WHILE you are having work done. Ask the dental office if they will do this. That makes
it easier for you to go straight home and not have to hang around waiting for those to get filled.
Plan to take it easy the rest of the day and have soft food like jello or puddings or
smoothies or shakes on hand.
And let them know you do not want to hear anything so maybe they can have music on.
As for blood there may be a small amount when you get home and you will probably
have little gauze squares to change.
And ask your doctor or dentist (either one) if you may take something for the
high anxiety level prior.
You will do fine.

You will be asleep when the surgery occurs, but it would probably be best to mention your anxieties to the surgeon when you arrive as he/she would be able to do their best to make you comfortable. You won't feel anything during the surgery, but once you wake up you will feel pain (they give you meds for this) and there will be some blood from where your teeth were extracted. When I had my wisdom teeth out they gave me cotton to put over the extraction sites to catch any extra blood. Let your surgeon know about your reaction to blood so they can best prepare you for the post-op care.
if you are having all 4 taken out at once yes your surgeon will put you to sleeep so you wont feel or see anything no need to stress or worry you will be fine
