How much time does it take for wisdom teeth stitches to dissolve & other questions?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sutures: You should speak to your oral surgeon to determine if the sutures you have are indeed resorbable or silk, which need to be removed after 7 to 10 days. Regarding your other questions, you'll just have to ask them.

3-7 days: Dissolvable sutures gone in 3-7 days. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
