The entire process of having a tooth extracted is actually fairly quick, ranging closer to 20 to 40 minutes if only one tooth is being extracted. If more than one tooth is being pulled, it only adds around 5 to 15 minutes per tooth to the total time of procedure since majority of that 20 to 40 minutes is spent administering anesthesia and stitching the extraction site. The total time is also affected depending on how complex the tooth extraction is; if the tooth is erupted or impacted.
