At Dr. K. Ashraf Dentistry, we can integrate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) into your treatment plan to expedite the healing process and improve recovery time. Utilizing components from a small sample of your own blood, we can integrate PRP therapy into a variety of restorative procedures. What’s more natural than using your own blood to activate a more rapid healing response?
What is the PRP Process?
The entire process is very simple and adds little to no extra time to dental procedures. We start by taking a small sample of your blood and using our specialized centrifuge to separate and concentrate your blood platelets.
We apply these platelets as a thin film or gel depending on which dental procedure we are performing. When applied to surgical sites, the platelet-rich plasma activates your body’s natural growth factors and stem cells to improve clotting while promoting a faster healing process.
Who is a Candidate for PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma is a great option for patients that plan to have a tooth extraction, dental implant surgery, or a bone or tissue graft. Most patients are great candidates for PRP therapy. If you have difficulty healing, PRP is an effective way to encourage healing and procedure success. The best way to find out if you are a good candidate is during your consultation with Dr. Ashraf.
