PRF Explained
Our health Professionals derive PRF from your blood. The process starts with taking a small sample of your blood. This step is no different than when your doctor draws blood for lab testing during your annual exam. However, we use a specific piece of equipment called a centrifuge to “spin” the blood. This spinning action isolates the platelets from serum and blood cells. These concentrated platelets are powerful; when applied precisely by our dentists, PRF unlocks your body’s natural healing properties. It supports safe and healthy soft tissue and bony tissue regeneration.
PRF in Dentistry
- First, it speeds up healing – In fact, we’ve found that surgical sites and wounds treated with PRF heal in half the time of those sites and wounded areas that are not treated with PRF.
- Second, minimizes bleeding – Many undesirable side effects associated with dental procedures are minimized with PRF, including discomfort and excess bleeding.
- Third, precision, localized tissue regeneration – We place the right adjunct (PRF) in the right place at the right time to trigger efficient healing.
- Fourth, immediately initiates clotting – A prominent feature of PRF is its blood-clotting capacity. We often refer to PRF as a “natural Band-Aid”; the treatment site is protected, and soft tissue and bone regeneration are promoted.
Additionally, as an autologous substance (obtained from your own body), you avoid allergies, sensitivities, and other risks associated with synthetic materials. There is peace of mind that the products and materials that we use are safe and non-toxic and in the best interests of your smile and overall wellness.
