A member asked:
Can you tell me how much time would it take to extract an abcess molar tooth?

Wide range: It depends on the position of the tooth, removal of bone, complex suturing, and any unforseen complications. Does it really matter how long it takes, just as long as it is done correctly and painlessly? Oral surgeons are experts in this procedure... The one treating you can best answer your question.

Procedure time: I can't speak for others. In my office: 15-45 minutes from start to finish in most cases.It depends upon how long it takes the patient to get numb, how loose the tooth is along with the difficulty of the extraction.
