Short answer: yes
Hello,
I wish there was an easy fast answer like yes/no. Unfortunately, there isn’t. Dozens of factors play a role in regeneration of gingival tissue (gums). All are unrelated to “bone grafting” in itself. I would consult a periodontist as I am an implant surgeon.

The short answer is yes. The bone graft and gum graft are very predictable procedures. Also, there are many variables.
