What are platelet rich growth factors?

Platelets are vital to healing. Platelet rich fibrin techniques isolate and use concentrated platelet fibrin to promote faster healing.

What can I expect from the PRF treatment?

The procedure starts with a consultation to determine your suitability for the procedure. We’ll also take your medical history.

If you are eligible for the procedure, we’ll draw a small amount of blood from your arm, similar to having your blood drawn for lab tests. Then, we’ll place your blood sample in a centrifuge, which is a machine that spins the blood at high speed to separate the components of the blood.

This machine separates your blood into red blood cells, serum, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Our focus lies on the platelet rich fibrin layer, which is abundant in organic growth factors crucial for healing. The PRF is applied to the targeted area for healing or tissue regeneration.  

What are the benefits of PRF?

The doctor can use PRF in numerous oral surgical treatments, including bone grafting, implant surgery, and dental extractions. PRF has been shown to accelerate tissue regeneration faster than natural processes. This innovative solution offers several benefits.

Some include:

  • Decreased inflammation after treatment
  • Using your own blood  uses your own body’s organic healing factors with no risk of rejection
  • Reduced infection risk

The effectiveness and safety of these organic growth factors have been demonstrated in thousands of patients across various medical disciplines. PRF functions essentially as an autograft since it involves using platelets sourced from your body, containing proteins that naturally expedite the body’s repair process.
