Find the Right Application for Your Needs
Post-Extraction Healing
PRF is placed at the extraction site to lessen the risk of dry socket and support faster recovery. This includes wisdom teeth removal cases, where PRF can be especially effective in reducing post-operative discomfort.
Dental Implant Placement
PRF for dental implants fills the gap between the implant and bone to promote stronger, long-term integration.
Bone Grafting
PRF is mixed with graft materials and used as a membrane over the site to improve bone regeneration.
Why Choose PRF?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a 100% natural, patient-derived regenerative dental treatment that works with your oral surgery procedure to improve healing.
PRF is made entirely from your own blood with no synthetic additives, making rejection or adverse reactions virtually impossible.
Natural growth factors, such as VEGF, PDGF, and TGF-beta, are delivered directly to the surgical site to accelerate cellular repair.
Leukocytes within PRF provide natural protection against infection at the surgical site.
As a trusted healing therapy, PRF releases its healing compounds gradually for a steady, sustained response throughout recovery.
Patients typically experience reduced swelling and post-operative discomfort following treatment.
PRF is collected during your existing procedure visit, so your appointment stays on track.
What to Expect During Your Procedure
One-on-One Consultation
Your care begins with a detailed evaluation of your oral health and medical history to determine whether PRF is the right addition to your procedure.
Preparation
A small blood sample will be drawn and placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to isolate and concentrate platelets and fibrin into a PRF membrane or a liquid.
Precise Application
The prepared PRF is applied to the surgical site during your dental procedure, immediately supplying growth factors and signaling your body to focus healing resources on the area.
Aftercare
You will receive clear post-operative guidelines to protect the treated area and allow PRF to continue supporting recovery.
