Healing is a dynamic process that restores tissue by coordinating cells, biochemical signals, and extracellular matrix production. Over the last decade, advancements in periodontal regeneration have been significantly enhanced using biologics like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).
PRF, available at Anderson Periodontal Wellness, is created from your own blood to form a fibrin clot rich in platelets, growth factors, and cytokines. This innovative treatment accelerates healing while promoting adequate bone and soft tissue regeneration.
Over the last decade, advancements in periodontal regeneration have been significantly enhanced using biologics like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).
Platelets in your blood are packed with growth factors that play a crucial role in stimulating new cell growth and forming blood clots to aid in wound healing. PRF is produced through a simple, three-step process that starts with drawing blood from your arm, much like a standard blood test.
The blood is spun in a centrifuge for a few minutes, separating its components. The top layer, rich in platelets and growth factors, is collected and applied to the treated gum tissue to accelerate healing.
PRF is primarily used to accelerate the revascularization of damaged tissues and promote bone regeneration, especially before the placement of dental implants
Advancements in dentistry have led to significant improvements in platelet concentrates, including the development of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) protocols. In dentistry, PRF is primarily used to accelerate the revascularization of damaged tissues and promote bone regeneration, especially before the placement of dental implants. PRF includes:
PRF treatment begins with a small blood draw, similar to a standard lab test. The sample is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate a fibrin-rich clot filled with platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. This PRF clot is carefully applied to surgical or treatment areas in your mouth to jumpstart and support healing by stimulating new tissue and blood vessel formation.
PRF harnesses your body’s own healing mechanisms by concentrating platelets and growth factors from your blood into a fibrin matrix. Once applied to treated tissue, it accelerates cellular repair and supports the regeneration of bone—particularly useful in procedures like dental implants, where bone density is essential for stability.
The primary technology in PRF therapy is a specialized centrifuge system designed to separate and concentrate key blood components—platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin—without additives. This ensures the healing material remains 100% natural and autologous, promoting safe, biologically compatible results.
Most patients experience faster healing times, reduced inflammation, and fewer complications after a PRF procedure. Because PRF uses your own blood and naturally accelerates tissue repair, the risk of infection is lower and discomfort is typically minimized—making for a smoother, safer recovery.
Delayed healing often results from poor blood flow, infection risk, or a lack of regenerative cells at the site. PRF addresses all three by boosting the supply of platelets and growth factors directly where healing is needed, encouraging faster tissue repair and improved outcomes.
Yes. PRF therapy can aid in reversing early bone loss by stimulating new bone growth in the jaw. It provides essential proteins and cellular signals that enhance bone regeneration, making it easier and safer to place dental implants later.
If you’ve experienced gum recession, implant failure, or slow post-op healing, PRF may be beneficial. These symptoms indicate compromised tissue health, which PRF can help restore by boosting vascularization and collagen production in affected areas.
Yes. Timing is crucial. Applying PRF immediately post-surgery allows healing factors to act while tissues are most receptive, reducing risks and enhancing long-term treatment success—especially for grafts or implants.
Our team follows strict protocols using advanced centrifuge technology and sterile handling to prepare PRF. Since it’s made from your own blood, PRF eliminates risks of rejection or allergic reaction, ensuring maximum biocompatibility and healing efficiency.
If you’re planning oral surgery, dental implants, or have concerns about healing, it’s best to schedule a PRF consultation as early as possible. This allows your periodontist to prepare a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal recovery and results.
