Time taken for surgical removal of a wisdom tooth depends on its angulation, location and amount of bone covering it, which can only be assessed by an x-ray.
Usually it can take anywhere between 30 minutes to one hour.
Post extraction healing takes 7-10 days.
Hope this is helpful to some extent.

Hi. Your case is most likely a case of partial impaction. A typical case takes about 20 to 40 minutes depending upon the complexity.
The post treatment symptoms range from mild discomfort to mild swelling. If the patient follows the given instructions properly, the symptoms will go away in 2-3 days.
Next Steps
Get an x-ray to determine the exact nature of the case so that a definite treatment plan can be decided
