How long does a tooth extraction take?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Thanks for asking!: Most extractions take 3-5 minutes per tooth. Of course not all extractions are the same and many multi-rooted or root canal treated teeth will take longer due to their level of difficulty and need for surgical removal.

Depends: It all depends on where in the mouth, condition the toot is in, infection being present, and other things.
