Depends: 30-90 minutes may be the expected range for sedation, the actual surgery, and recovery time of the patient. Understand that even if you are "knocked out" the surgeon still has to use local anesthesia for each area of your mouth. Best to ask your surgeon at your consult appt.

Hour and Half: Most wisdom teeth surgeries take up to an hour and half. Make sure your dentist or oral surgeon explains all the risks and complications before consenting to oral surgery of your wisdom teeth.
