It depends on many factors (teeth being devitalised, expected complications during the surgery, and other non-teeth related factors as well). Some people do get a local anesthesia (not knocked out), others have no choice.

Where I live (NYC), everyone I know has been knocked out for routine wisdom teeth surgery.

I chose local anesthetic when I got my impacted wisdom teeth removed in NYC. This was in 2006 at a dental school though.
