Is it normal for a dental implant to be exposed after surgery? Or do I need extra stitching? (photos)

Otdumont
I had implants to replace teeth numbers 3, 14, and 15. Tooth number 3 implant is exposed. The dentist used dissolvable stitches since I was not able to return in order to get the stitches removed ( I had them done in a different state from where I live) .
