Dental Healing with PRP/PRF
At Leading Edge Oral Surgery, we prioritize your healing and recovery after surgical procedures. Some of the advanced techniques we utilize to enhance your healing process are Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) and Platelet Rich Fibrin Therapy (PRF). These treatments harness the natural healing properties of your own blood to speed up recovery and improve overall healing outcomes.
Improve Your Healing Timeframe
One of the primary concerns patients have before undergoing dental treatments is the recovery period afterward. At Leading Edge Oral Surgery, we are committed to ensure your healing time and discomfort are minimized. To further aid in your healing, we offer PRP and PRF treatments, which use your body’s natural healing mechanisms to accelerate recovery.

What are Plasma Rich Growth Factors (PRGF)?
Plasma Rich Growth Factors (PRGF) are derived from your own blood and contain high concentrations of growth factors that are crucial for healing. The process of obtaining PRGF involves the Platelet Rich Concentrate Technique, which is a simple and safe procedure.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood and using a centrifuge to separate the blood components. The platelets, which are rich in growth factors, are then collected. These growth factors play a vital role in healing soft and hard tissue wounds, making them beneficial for various dental procedures.
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy
Similar to PRP, Platelet Rich Fibrin Therapy begins with drawing a small about of blood and processing it using a centrifuge. This process forms a fibrin clot that can be used in many dental treatments. The fibrin is enriched with platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors, which aids the body in healing soft and hard tissue wounds.
Benefits of PRP and PRF in Dental Healing
Accelerated Healing
PRP and PRF can significantly speed up the healing process by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.
Reduced Discomfort
By enhancing natural healing, these treatments can help minimize post-operative discomfort and swelling.
Proven Results
Clinical studies have shown that PRP and PRF improve healing outcomes, making them a valuable addition to many dental procedures.
Procedures Enhanced by PRP and PRF
-
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting procedures benefit from the enhanced healing properties of PRP and PRF, which help to integrate the graft material with your natural bone more efficiently.
-
Sinus Lift
During sinus lift procedures, PRP and PRF promote faster healing of the sinus membrane and surrounding bone, reducing recovery time and discomfort.
-
Facial Trauma
In cases of facial trauma, these treatments can aid in the regeneration of soft tissues and bones, leading to quicker and more effective healing.
-
Dental Implants
PRP and PRF can improve the integration of dental implants with your jawbone, enhancing stability and reducing the overall healing period.
Proven Results and Minimal Risks
Using PRP and PRF for dental healing has been proven to be minimally invasive with minimal risks. Because these growth factors are derived from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission, and the body readily accepts them as natural healing agents. Acting as a biological connector during the healing process, PRP and PRF help fuse graft elements to your body, resulting in improved healing outcomes.
