When I had one of mine removed it was the quickest dentist visit I had. They exposed the tooth, drilled into it, hit it with a wedge and collected the pieces. It probably took less than 10 minutes including the time for local anesthesia to take effect and didn’t really hurt
That was my experience too. At first I was kind of disappointed I didn’t get the funny drugs but a double extraction took literally ~10 min, and I drove myself home right after.
Everyone I know who went full sedation it would be like a 3-5 hour experience before you come to. Alot of hassle
Either everyone in this thread is very lucky, or I’m very unlucky. 3 extractions done in my life, none were under 20 minutes a tooth, one took over 45 minutes for one single wisdom tooth being extracted, they redid numbing shots twice during the procedure it took so long. I dread the dentist so fucking much now.

Damn that’s fast. I saw an animation of that on YouTube once (a long time ago), it was strangely satisfying to watch
