Well it depends on what was done and the extensiveness of the surgery. I just got 4 wisdom teeth pulled and it clotted after about 4 hours. But for the clot to harden fully, wait up to 24, 36 hours to know for sure if its fully clotted. The bigger the hole. The longer you wait. =)
Clot, or scab.
Thrombo- (Greek = "blood clot") is the word-forming element that is used meaning blood clot. thrombophlebitis: blood clot + vein + inflammation thrombocyte: blood clot + cell (aka platelet) thrombocytopenia: blood clot + cell + lacking (low platelet count)
A dry socket occurs when a blood clot does not form. You can also "remove" a blood clot with activities such as sucking through a straw, swishing to had with water or mouth rinse or smoking. So after an extraction you need to be very careful for at least 24-48 hours

Inflammation in superficial or surface veins, such as those used to insert IV lines in the arm or to draw blood, can produce pain, redness, warmth, and discomfort. Blood clots that form in superficial veins rarely break loose and travel in the blood to cause blockage (in places such as the lungs) and complications.
depending how large it is usually a few minutes
