5 Answers
Anywhere between 5 minutes to 1/2 hr depending on the condition of the tooth
Depending on the difficulty of the extraction and the clinical skill of a provider, a dental extraction could take from seconds to over an hour for some. If one is concerned about a dental extraction, they may consider seeing a specialist such as an oral surgeon for their treatment.
Hi
Depending on the difficulty of the case a loose tooth can take 5 to 10 minutes and one that is embedded in solid bone and is badly decayed can take 45 minutes to an hour!
Good luck

The time to extract a tooth is dependent upon a number of conditions; where it is in the mouth, periodontal status of the tooth, amount of decay associated with the tooth, is the tooth impacted ? These are a few of the factors that need to be considered. In general i can only say from the start of local anesthesia to completion of the procedure to the end is somewhere between 10 to 60 minutes.
Hope this helps.

A tooth extraction could take anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending in the complexity of the case.
