Mine took about 3 weeks to fully grow back. The stitches came out after about 10 days. I did get a dry socket though in the first week, as the gum was healing too quickly.
Not sure that I agree with 3 weeks.....I would suggest closer to 6 before you feel comfortable with them.  Dissolving stitches should go in ten days but I had to have one removed by the local practice nurse after 3 weeks....it just wouldn't go!
The dentist needs to give you stitches after you have wisdom teeth removed? EEEeeeeeekk!!!
Hopefully quickly as i suppose it's difficult to eat??.
When I had my teeth out (although they weren't wisdom) it took about 2 months for my gums to heal properly and for me to be able to eat normally using that part of my mouth
It is three weeks today since I had two teeth removed and my stiches are still there
