It depends on the severity of the surgical process. If it has been a few weeks and the tissue has healed, then you shouldn't see bone. Consult the surgeon that placed the implant.
Depending on the specific conditions under which the implant was place, you may be having a small bone fragment which is working itself out or you may be having some attachment loss around your implant.
It would be wise to have the area evaluated since attachment loss around an implant could result in a failure of the case

If you see small bone particles in your mouth or around the area where the implant was placed then yes. If you see your bone then no see your dentist right away.
After implant surgery, is it not ideal to have bone exposed and may put the implant bone at risk of infection and failure. A suture may have popped. I would see your surgeon as soon as possible to evaluate and treat.
