Varies: It varies depending on how involved it is. Minor surgery would be if the teeth are erupted and are just removed like any other tooth. If the teeth are covered with bone and impacted it could be major surgery.

Minor: Minor compared to heart or brain surgery. Major compared to a simple extraction. For best results, see a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon for exam/recommendations.
