My dog got his upper 4th premolar extracted today but doesn't seem to have any sutures. Is this normal procedure?

it is not always necessary to suture the cavity, If there was infection at the root you would not suture it, for example, as you want pus and debris draining freely. If you suspect a problem, contact your veterinarian tomorrow morning.
