Hi all,

I had my upper left incisor surgically extracted 5 days ago to prepare for an implant.
As it was a surgical extraction a flap was cut in my gums which seems to have started at the gum line on my two adjacent teeth. The issue is, I seem to have lost some gum here on both teeth where the incisions were made and am worried I'm never going to get it back.

I left my dentist a message and he said he can try to 'manage' the gums when he places the implant and crown later, but I have read that gums on the gum line never grow back. Is this true, or will the gum that was lost during surgery on the gum line grow back on these adjacent teeth?

Any advice is appreciated!
