Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) - Mesa, AZ

Harness the Power of Your Body’s Natural Healing Process

What Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an innovative method that enhances the body’s innate healing abilities. It has now found its place in dentistry, where it has been widely utilized in various medical procedures, such as skin rejuvenation and promoting hair growth.

At Greater Phoenix Periodontics & Implants, our periodontist, Dr. Chad Cravatta, harnesses the power of PRF to accelerate soft tissue healing and facilitate bone regeneration following surgeries like bone grafting and dental implant placement. Incorporating PRF into our treatments whenever suitable ensures swifter recovery times and optimal oral health outcomes for our patients in the long run.

Advanced Dentistry with Advanced Healing

PRF treatments have numerous applications in dental procedures. One primary use involves utilizing PRF to generate biocompatible material to fill empty sockets post-tooth extraction. This proactive measure aids in averting complications, such as dry sockets and infections, while fostering accelerated healing. PRF is a versatile tool for creating protective barrier membranes and safeguarding surgical sites from contamination during the critical healing phase.

PRF can be utilized as grafting material in advanced procedures like sinus lifts, which establish a robust foundation for dental implants in the upper arch. Overall, PRF treatment aims to expedite healing processes, promote healthier outcomes, and mitigate risks that could jeopardize long-term dental health.

The Benefits of PRF

Our PRF Process

PRF treatment is a straightforward procedure that involves collecting a small blood sample, comparable to what is typically drawn for a routine blood test. This sample is then placed into a centrifuge, where it undergoes separation to isolate the healing factors present in the blood. Within less than 20 minutes, these bioactive healing factors are ready for application to the surgical site.

Depending on individual requirements, PRF may be combined with bone graft material or otherwise prepared for placement at the surgical site. Its remarkable efficacy in enhancing osseous integration makes it a preferred inclusion in nearly every dental implant surgery, forming a vital part of our standard practice.
