Most common questions used to investigate

Do you have non-dissolvable stitches?

Have several weeks passed since you got your stitches?

Common conclusions

Non-dissolvable stitches need to be removed within 5-10 days depending on the complexity of your operation.

It seems you may need to see your dentist for a postoperative checkup and ask to remove the stitches. However, there is nothing to worry about, the procedure is typically painless.

In this case, you do not need to remove your stitches as they will disappear on their own within few weeks without leaving a mark.
