Woodlands Dental is pleased to offer PRF to help with recovery and healing, so you can attain optimal dental and oral health.

What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a substance that is found and extracted from your own blood, making it a safe and effective option for various dental procedures. Rich in white blood cells and platelets, it possesses natural healing properties in order to aid in pain management and healing. The process involves painlessly extracting a very small amount of blood, much like any standard blood test, and then processing it in order to separate the platelets and growth factors. It is placed in a centrifuge where the vile of blood spins at 3000 rpm for approximately 10 minutes. The spinning process forces the blood to separate into 3 different layers; plasma at the top, red blood cells at the bottom, and fibrin clot in between. The fibrin components are then placed directly on surgical sites. Because the fibrin is rich in proteins, it plays a crucial role in healing, making PRF an ideal solution for procedures like dental implants, bone grafts, and oral surgeries.

Benefits of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)

One of the key benefits of PRF is its natural ability to accelerate the healing process. By enhancing the body’s natural regenerative capabilities, PRF helps reduce recovery time and minimizes discomfort following procedures. Patients often report improved healing and less swelling, allowing them to return to their daily activities more quickly.

Additionally, PRF is known for its biocompatibility, meaning it integrates seamlessly with your body’s tissues. This characteristic reduces the risk of complications and promotes a more successful outcome for treatments. There is virtually no risk of rejection because PRF is your body’s own concentrated material. The use of PRF is also a minimally invasive option, ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of care with the least amount of discomfort.
