Blister

I had three extractions and threeimplants on my front teeth two weeks ago. I had the stitches removed last week and the dentist said all was well. This week I notice a small protruding blister between one of the implant sites and a tooth that was not involved in the procedure. Is this normal healing. I don't want to bother my dentist unless thisis something that needs attention. There is no pain just a sensation like pressure.

If your dentist gives you the impression that they are bothered by your post-operative questions then you may want to consider finding someone else to care for you.
What you have described is consistent with an infection (fistulae) and if so requires prompt intervention.
