At Surgical & Sleep Solutions, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective treatments available. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge, natural healing therapy that enhances the body’s regenerative abilities. Under the expert care of Dr. Shaunda Kelly, our practice in Orange City, FL, offers PRF treatments to promote faster healing and better outcomes for various dental and facial procedures.
What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a concentration of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. Unlike other platelet concentrates, PRF is completely natural and free from additives. It is created by drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed to separate and concentrate the platelets and fibrin. The resulting PRF is rich in growth factors and cytokines that promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Benefits of PRF
Using PRF in dental and facial procedures offers several significant benefits:
- Enhanced Healing: PRF promotes faster and more efficient healing by stimulating tissue regeneration and repair.
- Reduced Inflammation: The growth factors in PRF help to reduce inflammation and minimize post-operative discomfort.
- Improved Outcomes: PRF enhances the success rates of various procedures, including dental implants and bone grafts, by improving tissue integration and stability.
- Natural and Safe: As PRF is derived from your own blood, it is biocompatible and free from the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission.
How PRF Works
PRF is used in a variety of dental and facial procedures to enhance healing and improve outcomes. Here’s how it works:
Before Your Procedure
During your pre-operative consultation, Dr. Kelly will discuss the benefits of PRF and determine if it is suitable for your specific needs. A small blood sample will be taken and processed to create the PRF concentrate.
During Your Procedure
PRF is applied directly to the surgical site during your procedure. For dental procedures, it may be used to enhance bone grafting, improve the success of dental implants, or aid in the healing of extraction sites. For facial treatments, PRF can be used to promote skin rejuvenation and improve the outcomes of cosmetic procedures.
After Your Procedure
The application of PRF helps to accelerate the healing process and reduce post-operative discomfort. You will receive specific post-operative care instructions to ensure the best possible results from your PRF treatment.
