What is PRF?

Your blood is made up of several different components, including liquid plasma, platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin (which is basically a type of protein). Platelet rich fibrin is what you get when you separate the platelets and white blood cells from the liquid plasma and “combine” them into a fibrin matrix.

In other words, PRF is a mixture of specific parts of your blood. As you’ll see, these parts are selected for the role they play in your body’s natural healing process.

How PRF Treatments Work in Dentistry

After taking a small sample of your blood, your holistic dentist in Tulsa will have to separate the PRF from the liquid plasma. To accomplish this, they’ll place the sample in a centrifuge, which will rotate at high speeds. The force generated will cause the platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin to clot together. Our team will keep the PRF until after your surgery and then administer the components into the treatment area.

The PRF “solution” will then get to work releasing growth factors that promote tissue and cell regeneration. Thanks to the high concentration of platelets, your body will be able to heal much faster than it would otherwise.

Benefits of PRF Treatments

Part of the reason we love PRF treatment is it can benefit patients in a number of ways. For example:

  • It can shorten recovery times after complex dental procedures
  • It reduces post-treatment pain and swelling
  • Since it’s derived from your own blood, it’s incredibly safe
  • It mitigates the risk of post-op complications
  • It can smooth out the bone grafting and osseointegration process
