Hey guys!, I've been prepping for my interviews and i stumbled upon a problem. Whenever I'm answering questions and timing myself, my responses have always been 30sec to a minute. I was wondering if this isn't enough time. Should I elaborate more or is this a good time frame?

go with the flow as if you're having a conversation.
There are interviewing you to learn about you, not to see if you can most eloquently and efficiently answer a question.

dental schools are not looking for people who can "answer questions". they are looking for people who can hold a conversation. you can have the best grades in stats in the world, but if you cant talk to anyone...whats the point?
