Soft tissue grafting
Restore your gums, protect your teeth, and achieve a healthier smile with expert soft tissue grafting at Neola Dental in Minneola. Our experienced team combines advanced techniques with compassionate care to ensure a safe and effective treatment tailored to your needs.
What is soft tissue grafting?
Soft tissue grafting is a surgical procedure designed to restore areas where gum tissue has receded, exposing the tooth roots. Receding gums can cause sensitivity, increase the risk of decay, and affect the appearance of your smile.
During a soft tissue graft, healthy tissue is taken from another part of your mouth or a donor source and placed over the exposed roots. This procedure not only protects your teeth but also restores the natural contour of your gums. At Neola Dental, we use minimally invasive techniques to ensure a smooth recovery and excellent results.

Benefits of soft tissue grafting for your smile and oral health
Soft tissue grafting offers both health and aesthetic benefits, helping you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile. Some of the key benefits include:
Protecting Tooth Roots
By covering exposed roots, the procedure prevents sensitivity, decay, and potential tooth loss.
Restoring a Natural Smile
Soft tissue grafting improves the symmetry and appearance of your gum line, creating a healthier, more youthful look.
Reducing Gum Disease Risks
Receding gums create pockets where bacteria can accumulate. Grafting helps close these gaps, lowering the chance of future infections.
Preserving Long-Term Oral Health
By addressing gum recession early, you can avoid more extensive and costly dental procedures in the future.
Improving Comfort
If you experience pain or discomfort from exposed roots, soft tissue grafting provides lasting relief.

Frequently Asked Questions about Soft tissue grafting
How much does soft tissue grafting cost?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, but it typically ranges from $500 to $1,500 per area. If you have insurance, it may cover part of the cost—feel free to ask us, and we’ll help you check your benefits.
Is soft tissue grafting painful?
Not really! We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some mild soreness afterward is normal, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and proper aftercare.
How long does it take to recover from a soft tissue graft?
Initial healing takes about one to two weeks, but full recovery can take a few months. Following your post-op instructions will help ensure the best healing and long-lasting results.
Who is a candidate for soft tissue grafting?
If you have receding gums, tooth sensitivity, or want to improve the appearance of your gums, you might be a great candidate. We’ll evaluate your case and determine if it’s the right option for you.
Does insurance cover gum tissue grafting?
It depends on your insurance plan. If the graft is done for medical reasons, like protecting exposed tooth roots, it may be covered. If it’s purely cosmetic, coverage is less likely. We can help you check your benefits!
How long do the results of a soft tissue graft last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, the results can last a lifetime. Taking care of your gums by brushing, flossing, and avoiding aggressive brushing techniques will help maintain the grafted tissue.
