How long do tooth extractions take?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: Depends on how difficult the extraction is, location of the tooth, complex suturing, and skill of the dentist or surgeon. It doesn't really matter, as long as it's pain free, right ?

Depends: The time required for extraction of teeth may depend upon the position and location of the teeth, number of teeth to be removed, amount of tooth structure present, your age and physical status, anesthetic options with or without sedation, where your surgery is performed, the person performing your surgery and where the procedure is performed.
