Generally, 4 wisdom teeth can be removed in 30-45 minutes by an experienced oral surgeon. If the teeth are straight forward it may take less time; if they are difficult, it may take more time.

The time required to remove a wisdom tooth may depend upon the location and position of the tooth, what type of anesthesia/sedation is being used and the training and experience of your doctor.
