White bump on gums after dental implant? (Photos)

Asked By:leNT123 in Buffalo, MO

I recently had a dental implant procedure and had the stitches removed 2 weeks post op. It's been 3 days since the stitches have been removed. After brushing my teeth tonight, I noticed a small bump above my gums and as well under. Could this be an infection or a common occurance in these types of situations? I am also wearing a flipper until the crown can be placed, could this be the issue?
