How Many Minutes to remove Tooth/

[almondjoys]

How many minutes, in a typical situtaion, does it take to remove a broken upper wisdom tooth? ( How many minutes of the actual work on the tooth.)Maybe 5-7 minutes..or less??

From what I hear the uppers are much easier to remove than the lowers. I don't know how old you are as that could make a difference. It will take a bit longer if it is a surgical extraction vs. a simple one. My uppers were intact when they were removed 20 years or so ago and it was just a minute or two for each one. My lowers I have been quoted 30-45 minutes for the two. I assume that includes the prep and anesthesia time, not sure about the recovery time.
