19 days after dental implants and I still have stitches. Is this normal?

Question

I had fixed 12 dental implants and 2 implants my doctor add bone graft as well. But have been 19 days and still I have stitches. Is there any serious issue or is it normal. Please reply I’m worried about my dental implants.

It must be normal is they used resorbable stitches, otherwise you need to return at post-op check up to have them removed. If stitches are left too long they can cause gum irritation.
