Why has my gum receded after dental implants?

Q.

I have recently had dental implants fitted problem is that immediately after having the crowns fitted my gum receded above one single implant. Now I have the abutment near the gum line clearly visible I am worried that this may cause additional problem in trying to keep the area free from bacteria is there anything I can do to remedy this? I have heard about gum grafting is this a possible way to go?
