Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin
Your surgeon can accelerate the healing process after certain oral surgery procedures using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF)—growth factors derived from your own blood sample.
Advanced platelet-rich fibrin can be used for many oral surgery procedures, including bone grafting for dental implants. It is a quick procedure that can be performed in our office to accelerate your body’s natural healing processes. During the procedure, a high concentration of platelet-rich fibrin, along with other growth-stimulating materials, is applied to the surgical site. Your own blood sample will be taken at the beginning of the procedure to create these powerful growth factors.
Patients who select advanced platelet-rich fibrin as a part of their treatment tend to experience reduced post-surgical discomfort and swelling. If you are interested in learning more about advanced platelet-rich fibrin or would like to add it to your treatment plan, please contact our practice for a consultation with one of our experienced oral surgeons.
Benefits of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin
Using advanced platelet-rich fibrin as a part of oral surgery treatment can provide many benefits:
- Low risk. Since your own blood is used, there is no risk for disease transmission.
- Convenient. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin can be created at the beginning of your scheduled surgical procedure.
- More efficient healing. These powerful growth factors stimulate your body’s natural healing processes for more efficient healing.
- Value. No need to incur the added expense of using a blood bank! Advanced platelet-rich fibrin can be harvested easily before your surgical appointment for efficient and effective results.
