Whenever possible, your body should be given the chance to heal itself. At our office, we provide platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatments to improve the natural healing process and help you recover from your treatment quickly.

The platelets in your blood create clotting and start the healing process. During your recovery, the platelets release proteins and growth factors that can promote healing and reduce your chances of inflammation. To prepare for PRF treatment, we will draw a small amount of blood from your arm. That sample of blood will be spun in a centrifuge to create the PRF, which will be applied directly to the treatment site. Because we use your own blood, the entire process is completely safe for you.

Some of the benefits of using PRF include:

• Improved healing
• Reduced discomfort and swelling after your appointment
• A greater chance of treatment success, especially following oral surgery, and increased blood flow to the extraction site
• A decreased chance of developing dry socket following a tooth extraction
• Better bone growth, healing and osseointegration

If you are scheduled for a tooth extraction or oral surgery and would like to make PRF a part of your visit with our dentists, please contact our office today and speak with one of our team members.
