Post Dental Bone Graft Question?

I had a tooth extraction (Tooth #4) this past Thursday and a dental bone graft was put into place. Since then, the area where the stitches and what I am guessing to be membrane (it's a soft white material) has descended. I am in no pain, but am concern is the surgical area material supposed to have descended to the extent that you can't tell there is a tooth missing anymore because the material fills the hole of where the tooth was (it did not look like that the day of surgery). My dentist is unable to be reached and I don't know if this is to be expected.
