I Luke,

You can attach a picture here if you want to. But I cannot tell you how the gum line tissue is going to heal as that depends on the formation of collagen tissue growth, anatomy and immune system.

Ask your dentist what he specifically meant by "manage" the gums and if he intends on doing gum modification when he places the implant or if he intends on "managing" the gum line with the fit of the implant crown.
