Wisdom teeth out in separate appointments?

Has anyone had their wisdom teeth removed in separate appointments? For the dentists on here, if a patient were to do each side of his/her mouth separately, how long would you recommend waiting to get the second side done?
 
Are you getting them out with just a local anesthesia? Looking at the forum seems like many do get them removed in separate appointments, especially with a local.
 
Hi Susanne,

I got my ones out all at once (with just a local), but the dentist also mentioned the option to do them separately, one side per appointment. The reason why he finally got them out all at once was that the one side took hardly 3 minutes to get done so he decided to invest another few minutes to do the other side too.
So generally it should be possible to do them separately.

All the best wishes
