How long does tooth extraction heal?

One to two weeks: Normally it's about a week or so that the socket of the extracted tooth heals and closes as it fells up with blood that coagulate and turns into bone later, and the socket gets shallower as it heals. If that blood clot got dislodged for amy reason , that can cause the socket not to heal. The condition is very painful and known as dry socket. See your dentist to get it treated.

Quickly: Extraction sites heal immediately with a blood clot after a tooth is removed. The extraction socket may take a few months for complete wound closure. Most people usually recover from an extraction within a few days.
