Depends: It is a surgery. The recovery time can be affected by many variables- upper teeth or lower, impacted/partial impaction/fully erupted, infected or not, root tip or broken tooth, difficulty of removal, density of the bone, your overall immunity. Normally a week to 10 days is a good rule of thumb, but everyone is different and every extraction is different.

2 weeks: Provided your healing progresses normally, you should be fully functional 7 without pain a few weeks following your surgery. Impacted wisdom teeth may require an additional week for things to feel normal again.
