what are the chances of bone regeneration when implants are placed without any Bone Graft?

I've had two bicuspids missing for several years and there was severe bone loss. I finally was able to get the two implants in about a month ago but the periodontist did not place any bone graft. He did mention something such as "membrane" being placed. Now, after 3 in a half weeks, I am noticing the implants are showing. Is that normal? What is my success rate considering that there was no bone graft placed? Please help.
