That depends on who does the extractions. Do youself a BIG favor and have it done by an Oral Surgeon and NOT by a general dentist. A surgeon is trained in extractions and other surgical techniques and spends 4 additional years in a hospital training. Where many general dentists do their own extractions, a difficult one for them is a very simple procedure for a surgeon. In general, after local anesthesia takes effect and you are numb, it should only take a surgeon less than a minute to remove each tooth. But, make the mistake of having a general dentist do it, and it may take 30 minutes or more for him to remove it. The general dentist just doesn't have the training or experience of the surgeon. This is especially true if those molars are 3rd molars - commonly called wisdom teeth. If they are impacted in the bone that is not completely in the mouth, letting a general dentist remove then is asking for trouble~!

I had 8 teeth pulled in two operations when I was a teenager. They each took about 2 hours. But the operation isn't the part you should worry about....if they put you on general anesthesia you won't even be awake and it feels goooood. If they don't, they'll still use local anesthetic and you won't feel anything.
The part that sucks is the 3-4 days afterward when you can't put anything in your mouth without a sharp pang of pain. Don't worry though, once this is over it's all downhill.

well usually they do 2 one day, and that way you cacn eat then in 1 or 2 weeks they pull the othe two. If you are a big chicken they will pull one out a week but that makes no logical sense.

I don't remember. I was asleep the whole time. All I remember was "3,2,1... blank" Then I just woke up with 4 wisdom teeth missing and bleeding gums so it seemed like only a second but was actually much longer.

Only 10-20 min longer per tooth than 1 Tooth. (Wisdoms up to 1 hour each)
P.S. Have You Been Playing With Diet Coke & Mentos Aswell ?

It all depends on how good your Dentist is. I had twenty teeth pulled, partials put in in one hour total.

Too long! But no, seriously... it does take about an hour and a half. They knocked me out for it so it was like an extra half hour. Good luck! :)
