I will have a gum graft. How long do stitches stay in after a gum graft?

Depends on the type of stitches. Some stay in and dissolve in 4-7 days and others need to be removed by the dentist
It depends. Usually they are long term resorbable, so hopefully a month.
I usually leave sutures in place for 2 weeks or more after a soft tissue graft since is very important that the graft remains stable without any movement while the blood supply re-establishes and the graft gets incorporated
