Once you get your wisdom teeth extracted how long does it take for the wholes to close up?

On the average about 2-3 weeks to fully regenerate. It is gradual to the point you will hardly tell. Gums have the capacity to heal quicky. Anywhere from a month to a year, depending on your body and the procedure that was done.

If the tooth was erupted through the gums before extraction, it may take a few weeks to fill-in with bone and gum tissue. If the tooth was impacted, it may take less time to heal if the gum tissue was sutured back over the opening after the extraction. However, if your suture came out early of if you developed a dry socket it may also take a few weeks to fill-in. You must know that there are very many other factors that influence your healing rate. Age, nutrition, hygiene, and smoking all can have an effect on healing time. If you are having difficulty with healing after your wisdom teeth extractions, first call your surgeon or dentist to see what they want you to do. If you are having slow healing and are concerned about food collecting or odor from the mouth, one solution is to rinse with a "water-pik" like device on a LOW setting to keep food collection at a minimum. If you have swelling, bleeding, pain in the area longer than you think is normal, see an oral surgeon or dentist ASAP.

Out of 32 adult (permanent) teeth, most adults have 28(wisdom teeth extracted), or 24(wisdom teeth and one premolar in each quadrant extracted). Most adults in their 40's have the latter, because it was common to extract the 4 premolars for orthodontia at that time. Most younger adults have 28 teeth. Some adults have all 32.
