Wisdom teeth removal: i have no holes left behind. is that normal?

No holes??: The surgeon probably closed the surgical sites with sutures. If you teeth were impacted (covered by gum tissue and or bone), it is quite possible the sockets are under the gum tissue and you just don't see them or feel them with your tongue.

It is normal: The socket was surgically closed and sutured to protect the blood clot. Keep the sites clean to avoid infection or other complications for a few weeks. Good luck.
