I had my dental implant done 3 mo ago, my abutment was placed now around 48 hrs ago, and ive noticed the gums getting a bit white around, normal?

Can't see: Obviously we can't see what you are describing. Your healing is probably normal. If you are even the lest bit concerned, return to your treating dentist to evaluate the Implant and the Healing Abutment.
