Depends on the surgery. The Dentist decides at the time of surgery will let you know. Follow up are scheduled and dentist can take out stitches at that time if needed
Your surgeon will use what is called dissolvable stitches rather than the kind that needs to be manually removed. This means you will not need a second procedure to have them taken out. Rather, these stitches will dissolve over time, gradually disappearing or falling out until they are completely gone.
No, I do not I like to have control of the healing! I prefer to watch the area close rather than risk it opening too early.
Yes I use dissolving sutures, however I usually remove them at my 1 week
post op appointment!

Yes , the gold standard now is using dissolvable sutures, such as chromic gut , for most if not all of my surgical procedures.
Hi, I usually place sutures that will not dissolve. Dissolving sutures tend to unravel and expose the surgical site. The patient will have a follow up visit and the sutures will be removed at that time.
