Impacted, unerupted wisdom teeth are not always a problem. If you're over 25 [1] it's highly unlikely they'll ever attempt to erupt, never causing a problem.

Impacted wisdom teeth don't always stay impacted when they start moving too. They can straighten up when they start coming in.

I have 4 impacted wisdom teeth completely sideways, and dentists on the east and west coast of the US have told me not to bother taking them out since I was 25 or older unless they start causing me problems.
