Information about the Human Canine Tooth

I just to ask about the human canine tooth. Since it is the longest tooth, how long it takes to extract this?My canine was abscessed for almost a month.
What are the veins connected to canine tooth?
Since it is the longest, does it needs more anesthesia than other tooth?

Need some of your educated answers.

What are the consequences of extracting the upper canine?
What kind of denture is better for this after extraction? I live in the Philippines.

The canines are generally tougher to extra due to the length of the root and the thinness of the bone near it.  It may take a few minutes longer to remove the tooth but it probably won't be as "tough" as removing a wisdom tooth going sideways in the jaw.
