That's a bit of an open-ended question. What type of surgery? If extractions, then how many teeth and are they impacted, any health issues? Typical procedures might be a 2-3 day recovery, some you would feel normal the next day, and some could be a week.
It all depends on the nature of the surgery. Simple extraction of compromised tooth can be 1-2 days, more major surgery such as wisdom teeth may require longer time; the more invasive the surgery the longer it takes to recover. It also depends on the individual, with a same surgery some may take longer than other to recuperate from the surgery.
