It has been established that both of these treatments are immensely effective in aiding patients heal more quickly and experience fewer complications. This is especially true when given in the course of dental procedures and oral health surgery. We are proud to announce that we now offer these enriching treatment methods in our practice. 

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Explained 

Platelets are very small cells that are located naturally in the blood of the body. When these cells make contact with air, they effectively assist in the quick development of a blood clot. These contain a very high amount or concentration of a substance called “plasma”. In addition to this, PRP is known to contain a high level of chemicals that are identified as “growth factors”. These contribute to the healing process. 

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Explained 

PRF is a type of reservoir of unique platelets that are found throughout the body. These release substances known as “cytokines” and slowly put out a bit of growth factors. As a result, they are known to be a main component when it comes to the regeneration of bone and the growth of soft tissue.

When used in the dental industry, PRF is highly effective in the preservation of the site after an extraction and the regeneration of the bone and the surrounding tissue. 

Clinical Dentistry Uses 

The PRP and PRF treatments have been used in many different applications in the health industry. To date, the most common uses have been as an aid in the healing of injuries of the muscles. In fact, many athletes in the NFL have depended on these treatments throughout the course of their career.

In addition, doctors have utilized the treatments for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Finally, the treatment has been used successfully among those suffering from weight loss.

Now, clinical dentistry uses the PRP and PRF treatments for fistula repair, bone repair, and even for the bone grafting that is required for implants, cleft lip and palate repair, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and more!
