PRP/PRF Therapy
In Leesburg, FL
What is PRP/PRF Therapy?
- PRP and PRF therapies use a patient’s own platelets, which are small blood cells that play a crucial role in clotting and healing, to accelerate the natural healing process. Fibrin, on the other hand, is a protein that forms a mesh-like structure to help in blood clotting. These therapies are particularly effective in dental procedures such as implant placements and periodontal surgeries, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort.
How Does PRP/PRF Therapy Work?
- The procedure starts with drawing a small amount of your blood, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin from other blood components. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma or fibrin is applied directly to the surgical site to stimulate tissue regeneration and accelerate healing.
Benefits of PRP/PRF Therapy
Accelerated Healing
PRP/PRF enhances the body’s natural healing processes, leading to faster recovery after dental procedures. This can mean less time spent in discomfort and a quicker return to normal activities. Additionally, the therapy’s ability to reduce the risk of infection can further contribute to a smoother recovery process.
Reduced Inflammation
These therapies help decrease inflammation and swelling post-surgery, resulting in less discomfort and quicker healing.
Minimized Pain
Patients often experience less pain due to the anti-inflammatory properties of PRP/PRF.
Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
PRP/PRF promotes the growth of new tissues, which is beneficial for procedures like bone grafts and soft tissue regeneration.
Soft Tissue Healing
PRP/PRF supports healing gums and other soft tissues, improving outcomes in periodontal treatments.
Improved Dental Implant Integration
