Asked By:beees in Peoria, AZ

I have had a implant place and then the stitches came off and now there is a space all around the implant and the gums is this normal and if it is how will it take to heal properly? and will the gums ever reconnect on there own? I do have a appointment with the oral surgeon in a couple days i just want to make sure everything is going okay.
