That varies: Depending upon whether you have IV sedation, the number of teeth, the degree of difficulty and the expertise of the surgeon. I usually schedule 1 hour for my patients and use only local anesthesia and nitrous oxide\oxygen analgesia (laughing gas). Sometimes i'm finished sooner. I would say 1 to 1 1/2 hours on average, longer for recuperation if IV sedation. Ask your own surgeon.

Depends: The actual surgical time may depend on the position and development of the teeth, the type of anesthesia used, where the procedure is performed, as well as the skill and technique of your doctor performing the procedure.
