How long should I plan to be out of work for? Getting 4 all out

I'm having a consultation soon to get all 4 wisdom teeth out. A complicating factor is I turn 41 in a couple weeks, and that isn't an ideal age to have them out. Until recently, I thought if I had them in this long, they'd never cause problems. I'm probably looking at IV sedation.

My job isn't physically demanding in a traditional sense, but there's constant verbal communication and leading multiple meetings a day. There isn't a way around those duties. If I have the procedure done on a Friday, there's some thought I need to be out until the following Wednesday at least.

Does that sound reasonable?
