One of my roots is exposed due to my recent implant placement, how can I protect it from further exposure?

Q.
hi, I don’t know who to talk to about this so my problem is that one of my roots of one of my teeth has been exposed partially as a result of a bit of an unfortunate incident with a dental implant placement (next to it). This happened in the upper jaw tooth number 4. How can i protect the root from further exposure? Would bonding or resin be suitable? what would be other methods to protect it? As it is a side effect of the surgery I would expect the dental surgeon to cover the cost so do not have to be very tight I would imagine It is just 3 mm long exposure but it does not look very nice and i had the implant done to improve my smile

Thank you for your question It
could be possible to use a filling or if the problem is more severe then a gum
graft might work. It can happen after any type of surgery so it might be that
you’ll need to pay separately for this procedure.
