Helping you heal faster and more efficiently.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) are by-products of blood (plasma) that is rich in platelets. PRP and more recently PRF have been used in hospitals to accelerate the body’s own healing process. Now, thanks to recent advances in technology we are able to provide the same technique in our office.

Blood platelets perform several important functions in the body, including the formation of a blood clots and the release of growth factors (GF) that help heal wounds. These growth factors assist the body in repairing itself by stimulating stem cells to regenerate new tissue, which is why PRP/PRF are so effective in speeding up the healing process.

There are many ways PRP can be used in oral surgery:

• Bone grafting for dental implants. This includes onlay and inlay bone grafts, sinus lift procedures, ridge augmentation procedures, and closure of cleft, lip and palate defects.
• Repair of bone defects created by removal of teeth or small cysts.
• Repair of fistulas between the sinus cavity and mouth.

Why Should You Consider PRP Treatment?

• It has been proven to expedite the healing process which means greater comfort and fewer potential complications in some cases.
• It helps seal the wound and lowers the risk of infection.
• It only requires a small amount of blood collected during a scheduled treatment.
