Gone are the days when you had to fret and worry because you were due a trip to the dentist.
Today, there are many dental treatments that have been designed specifically to reduce patient discomfort, quicken healing time and improve the quality of your results.
One such treatment type we offer at Live Well Dentistry is Platelet-Rich Fibrin for Dental Treatments.
Platelet-rich fibrin is a fibrin matrix that contains a combination of platelet cytokines, growth factors and cells. Together, these essential components of the fibrin heal the damaged tissues in the treatment site and facilitate healing and cellular regeneration.
Platelet-rich fibrin dental treatments are dental procedures that are performed using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Here, PRF is used to enhance and improve the results of any soft grafting and hard grafting treatment the patient undergoes.
Unlike traditional dental treatments which solely use synthetic components or pharmaceutical drugs to facilitate treatment success, PRF dental treatments use the natural growth factors produced by your own body.
By choosing your PRF, we reduce the likelihood of tissue grafts and dental implants being rejected by your body.
You can use platelet-rich fibrin to perform multiple surgical and non-surgical procedures such as:
…and many more.
Your blood contains a variety of components, one of which is platelets. In order to extract platelet-rich fibrin, we ask that you visit our dental clinic. We then extract a small sample of blood from you.
We then place the vial of blood into a centrifuge machine and separate the platelets from the rest of the blood. PRF works to heal and generate new and healthy tissue by activating collagen production in the area where it is injected.
During the process of centrifugation, the platelets release a huge amount of growth factors such as:
Together, these growth factors combine to affect how dental tissues heal during treatment.
On the day of your surgical or non-surgical procedure, our dental practitioners inject the platelet-rich fibrin into the treatment site. Once there, the PRF will start to vascularize your hard and soft dental tissues, facilitating quick healing and more long-lasting results.
The great thing about Platelet-rich fibrin dental treatments is that it is a very safe procedure that uses your body’s own PRF to treat your dental condition.
Absolutely anyone can undergo this procedure, provided they:
