At Beautiful Smiles of Arizona, we offer Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) to promote optimal healing and a fast, healthy recovery period for our patients undergoing oral surgery. Our dental team in Phoenix, AZ believes in the healing properties of blood platelet therapy when it comes to accelerating the healing process and achieving each patient's best smile by minimizing inflammation, swelling, and scarring after surgery.
What is PRF?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is used in a variety of surgical dental procedures, including dental implant placement and tooth extractions. The safe, natural process behind PRF involves creating a substance made from fibrin, white blood cells, and bone growth factors taken directly from the patient’s blood.
After the PRF is created from natural, biological materials, our team can apply it to the surgical site after the procedure is complete. This creates a natural seal for the location of surgery, blocking out bacteria and promoting optimal healing.
What to Expect
Gathering and processing PRF is a fast, virtually pain-free procedure. Prior to your oral surgery with Beautiful Smiles of Arizona, our team will gather a small blood sample, usually from a vein on the arm, in a process similar to undergoing a routine blood examination. After the blood is safely gathered, it is taken to a processing station to be converted to PRF. Our doctor will utilize the PRF as needed and complete your surgical procedure as planned, so you can take advantage of PRF's many healing properties.
PRF is used to help patients accelerate the healing process after surgery and achieve their optimal results through benefits like:
- Reducing pain, swelling and scarring
- Increasing healthy tissue growth
- Controlling inflammation
- Reducing infection
- Reducing healing time
Why PRF Therapy?
PRF therapy is known to make the process of healing from surgery faster and more comfortable overall, while promoting the best aesthetic results for your new smile. PRF is a 100% natural, FDA-cleared substance, containing no additives or preservatives — just protein-rich factors known to boost the natural healing process.
The use of PRF at Beautiful Smiles of Arizona can help increase healthy tissue growth and reduce healing time after surgical procedures. It also promotes a reduction in post-operative pain and can be used for some of our top dental treatments like:
- Dental extractions
- Dental implant placement surgery
- Facial aesthetics
- ...and more!
