Stitches Came Out After Implant And Skin Flap Is Open. Any Need To Restitch It?
Hi, I had the first part of an implant done today, about 3 hours ago. The stitches just came out and the skin flap over the post is open. I can't get a hold of my dentist. Do I need to get it re-stitched?I'm wondering if I should go to an urgent care as I am not sure it's a good idea to wait until Monday

Welcome to HCM
If stiches are just 3 hrs before done then it should get restiches done but since you are getting in hold of your dentist and that open stiches or flap is not bleeding or causing problem then you can wait but take care of open flap.
Thanknyou
