Is it necessary to retake algebra-based physics with labs?

Hi everyone, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and am currently taking prerequisites courses for dental school. I have completed a series of Calculus-based general physics courses in my bachelor's, but my university didn't offer labs for them. I have noticed that some dental schools require physics with labs, while some don't require labs. Is it necessary to retake a series of Algebra-based general physics just to complete the lab requirement, so I have more options when applying for dental schools?

you can probably find someplace to take just the Physics 1 and Physics 2 labs.
You wouldn't need to retake the accompanying lecture course.

I would check the schools' admissions teams. I agree you probably won't need to take the lectures, and I don't know if you would find the labs that useful...
