Yes.
A vestigial organ is the one which does not have any necessary function and can be removed as it does not contribute to important functions necessary to maintain and sustain life.
With modernisation, Wisdom tooth has become a vestigial organ and therefore can be removed if it causes any trouble.

Yes wisdom teeth is absolutely a vestigial organ.
The “wisdom teeth,” or last molars, are in man approaching a vestigial condition, since they generally do not appear until relatively late, between the ages of twenty and thirty years, and in many persons are never cut at all. In a large percentage of individuals, they are useless, and they often become impacted and have to be removed surgically.
