Dental Wellness Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Our doctors at Nederland Family Dental are always seeking new ways to improve the health, happiness, and appearance of our patients. We are proud to offer PRF treatments for dental procedures, which harness the power of your own cells to speed up healing and reduce discomfort after dental surgery.
Could you kindly clarify the meaning of PRF?
PRF, short for Platelet Rich Fibrin, is created by taking a small sample of your own blood and using a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, white blood cells, growth factors, and healing factors. These elements in your blood play a crucial role in promoting tissue growth and aiding in the healing process. By incorporating PRF into surgical procedures, patients can benefit from faster healing, lower risk of complications, and reduced pain. Our aim is to enhance your body's natural ability to heal bones and gums by delivering the required cells directly to the surgical site, thus expediting your recovery time.
PRF's advantages
What makes PRF so valuable in dental procedures?
- PRF is a natural and safe material that your body recognizes as part of your blood.
- It stimulates the release of growth factors, promoting faster regeneration of soft tissue.
- Additionally, PRF accelerates the healing process of bone grafts, allowing for quicker dental implant placement.
- We can produce PRF during your procedure, making it a fast and convenient process.
- By reducing inflammation and preventing infection, PRF results in less pain and tenderness.
- It also enables you to resume your normal activities sooner.
- Not only dentists, but other medical professionals also use PRF for joint and tendon surgeries, sports injuries, and even to treat male pattern baldness. Unleashing your body's healing potential leads to remarkable outcomes.
Is PRF genuinely secure?
PRF uses only materials from your own body, eliminating any risk of disease, contamination, or toxins. When performing surgery, we apply it directly to the wound, kickstarting the healing process.
The platelets then stimulate nearby cells to reproduce, generating new tissue to replace the damaged cells. With PRF, we avoid introducing any foreign substances into your mouth. Instead, we guide the existing cells at the site to heal and regenerate quickly.
