Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new approach to healing and tissue regeneration. It has become a valuable supplemental technique in many dental procedures.
A Major Advance in Dental Implant Healing
Tooth replacement methods have come a long way. Dental implants top the list of important advancements over the last few decades, but now, with PRP, this treatment can be even more effective.
Part of the implant procedure entails a healing period that can last several weeks and is extended when the jaw has atrophied, requiring bone grafting. PRP expedites this healing process and promotes a healthier outcome by helping dental implants integrate with the jaw faster and more completely.
PRP also maximizes the benefits of bone grafting and sinus lift procedures.
What You Can Expect with PRP-Assisted Procedures
Blood is drawn from your arm into a tube. This tube is placed into a special centrifuge which spins the blood and concentrates the valuable growth factor and platelets. This part of your blood then is placed strategically into the empty tooth socket after extraction or during the dental implant procedure.
When used with dental procedures, PRP promotes accelerated healing and tissue regeneration. Our highly-skilled and experienced team has found great success using PRP with our dental implant and extraction patients.
