how long to remove wisdom teeth?

Guffy

My gf has an appointment in Limerick on Sat to remove her wisdom teeth. From what i understand it is in a private clinic on her medical card. She has to be there at 7.45. Im working in Galway at 3 but could push it back a couple of hours.

Does anyone know how long this would take to do? Would i be home for 5 or 6 like?

An appointment for simple wisdom tooth under local anaesthetic could take 20 minutes
If done under iv sedation, the appointment would be 90 minutes or so
If under general anaesthetic you'll be there for hours depending where on the list she is. For example, you'll find that there will be 5-10 patients to be checked in at 7.45. She'll either be first, last or somewhere in the middle. If done first, she will likely be discharged at lunchtime, if last, it'll be 5ish. Some patients are not fit for discharge and may also be kept overnight...

Really what I'm trying to say is ring the clinic and ask!!
