What is PRF?

PRF is a natural concentrate of platelets extracted from the patient’s blood. Our PRF is 100% natural because we don’t use any additives. PRF promotes healing and tissue regeneration, especially in bone grafts, implant surgery, and gum tissue repair procedures. PRF has become popular due to its simplicity, safety, and effectiveness in enhancing healing and reducing recovery time.

What is the process of PRF treatment?

It’s simple. We’ll draw a small amount of blood from your arm, just like during a routine medical test. The sample blood is placed on a centrifuge machine, which spins it at a predetermined speed to separate its components.

After a few minutes, the centrifuge will separate the blood into the following components.

Clear liquid (plasma layer)
Red layer rich in red blood cells
Yellow thick layer, which is the PRF concentrate

PRF is a yellow, jelly-like substance rich in platelets and white blood cells, which naturally release growth factors to promote healing. Applying PRF to areas needing repair after trauma or surgery enhances and accelerates recovery, offering benefits that traditional healing may not achieve alone.

What dental treatments do we use PRF therapy?

Healing is one of the main concerns for several surgical treatments. However, with PRF therapy, patients can experience remarkable healing times. PRF uses the body’s growth factors to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration in treated areas.

During surgery, the jawbone is exposed. Unlike other body parts, the bone has little blood supply, so this area experiences slow healing and an increased infection risk. Our office places PRF in the surgical sites to improve recovery.

Here are procedures the dentist may enhance with PRF therapy.

Dental implant: The dentist applies PRF therapy to enhance the integration process, where the jawbone fuses with the implant. The growth factors in PRF encourage quicker bone and soft tissue healing around the implant.
Bone grafting: PRF accelerates bone formation and strengthens the graft site. Combined with graft material, PRF enhances the graft’s stability and fosters quicker bone regeneration.
Surgical extractions: PRF improves healing after surgical extractions and reduces the risk of a painful condition called dry socket. Once we extract the tooth, we can apply PRF into the socket to promote tissue repair and minimize post-operative pain.

PRF therapy is a holistic approach to accelerating healing in dentistry. It harnesses the body’s natural healing properties to minimize post-procedure discomfort and recovery time. Because PRF therapy uses natural substances, it integrates smoothly into the body without causing allergic reactions or adverse responses, making almost every patient an ideal candidate.
