It depends on the difficulty and complexity of the teeth, but generally it may take 30 to 45 minutes.

While every case is different in complexity, the average oral and maxillofacial surgeon will remove an average set of wisdom teeth in 20-30 minutes. Of course there is prep time before and recovery time after, especially if you undergo IV or general anesthesia. Oral surgeons perform this procedure routinely and therefore they are the most qualified to perform your surgery efficiently and safely.
Typically, it usually takes under 1 hr. Age and position of the teeth are factors.
That would depend on who is doing the surgery. If performed by an oral surgeon, should be less than an hour. If by a general dentist, it would depend on the experience. But most likely longer.
20-60 minutes depending
Usually less than an hour if the dentist is throughly trained in extracting third molars (wisdom teeth).
