The length of time dental implant stitches stay in place can vary depending on the individual case and the type of stitches used. In general, dissolvable stitches used for dental implant surgery can take anywhere from one to two weeks to dissolve completely. Non-dissolvable stitches, on the other hand, typically need to be removed by the dentist or oral surgeon after about 7 to 10 days.
It's important to follow your dentist's or oral surgeon's post-operative instructions regarding caring for the surgical site and when to have stitches removed. This will help ensure a safe and successful recovery and minimize the risk of complications such as infection or damage to the surgical site.
