It depends on if the tooth is impacted or not.The only way this can be answered is seeing an xray of the tooth.
This depends on the position of the tooth, if it is impacted, the bone levels and the patient. A simple wisdom extraction could take as little as 1/2 hour where a complicated tooth could take 1 hour. this is case specific
The amount of time it requires isn't so important, the proper process is more vital.
Every extraction is different and depends on the tooth anatomy and surgeon skills.
I’ve removed hundreds of wisdom teeth. Some were out in five minutes while others took an hour. So many variables. Best to have an oral surgeon review a CBCT type of X-ray.
Between 20 to 30 minutes.
