Wisdom tooth/dental fear

I need someone more adult than me for advice!
I have a wisdom tooth, lower that needs to come out. It’s got curved roots and my dentist doesn’t want to do it

my options are
GA - but it’s hurting and the list is 3 years

dental surgery that does sedation - but has some bad reviews on Google (happy to share which one if someone wants to see the reviews!) covered under denplan

pay privately - I don’t know if I can do this? To go elsewhere with good reviews and sedation

I have money to throw at this so any advice welcome. Had an upper wisdom tooth out ok no sedation but I’m a v nervous patient

hopefully last update, I’m going for a consult with an oral surgeon privately and I’ve taken out a loan to do it

And back to update in case anyone searches in future!
I took a loan out and paid for an oral surgeon at another dentist. She did x rays and said “yep I can get that out no problem”
I didn’t have sedation, she spent a good 25 mins numbing me and popped the “tricky” tooth out that nobody else wanted to touch in 5 minutes flat. Amazing dentist and I’ll be recommending them!
cost me £195 for the extraction and £150 for the initial consult
