I’ve had gum grafts, and they’ve had no difficulty healing and growing back. I’ve also had extra teeth removed and the gums have had no difficulty filling in the gaps. So if all else fails, pull the old tooth, plant the new seed tooth, let the gum heal and then rupture as the new tooth grows out. Should have a nice healthy gum edge again. Although teething as an adult sounds… uncomfortable.
