Advanced Healing for Dental Procedures
At Van Orman Dental, we utilize Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy, a 100% natural healing solution that enhances tissue regeneration, reduces pain, and speeds up recovery after dental procedures. PRF is an advanced form of platelet therapy that helps improve healing for tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, and gum treatments.
What Is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin is a second-generation platelet therapy that uses your blood to create a fibrin-rich clot containing platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), Platelet-Rich Fibrin does not require additives or anticoagulants, making it an all-natural healing solution.
- Accelerates healing and reduces inflammation
- 100% natural and biocompatible
- Enhances tissue regeneration for faster recovery
- Boosts bone and soft tissue healing
- Minimizes pain and swelling after surgery
How Platelet-Rich Fibrin Works in Dentistry
Blood Draw: A small amount of the patient’s blood is collected. Centrifugation Process The blood is spun in a centrifuge at a low speed to separate the platelets, growth factors, and fibrin. Formation of Platelet-Rich FibrinClot. Unlike PRP, PRF naturally forms a thicker, gel-like clot that acts as a scaffold for tissue regeneration. Application – The Platelet-Rich Fibrin is placed directly at the surgical site to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and improve recovery.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin Uses in Dental Treatments
PRF is beneficial in many dental and oral surgery procedures, including:
- Dental Implants – Encourages stronger bone integration and faster healing after implant placement.
- Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Tooth Removal – Speeds up gum and bone healing, reducing pain and dry socket risk.
- Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts – Enhances new bone growth and helps stabilize graft materials for implants.
- Gum Surgery & Periodontal Treatments – Supports soft tissue regeneration, improving healing for gum grafting, recession, and laser treatments.
- Oral Trauma & Jaw Surgery – Aids in the recovery of jaw fractures, dental infections, and surgical wounds.
PRF vs. PRP – What’s the Difference?
| Feature | PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) | PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) |
|---|---|---|
| Additives | 100% Natural (No anticoagulants) | Requires additives |
| Healing Potential | Higher due to fibrin matrix | High, but lacks fibrin scaffold |
| Platelet Release | Slower, long-term release for sustained healing | Immediate release but shorter duration |
| Clot Formation | Forms a natural gel-like clot | Liquid plasma form |
| Tissue Regeneration | More effective for soft tissue and bone healing | Supports healing but dissipates faster |
Benefits of PRF in Dentistry
- 100% Natural – No chemicals or additives
- Faster healing after dental surgery
- Reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation
- Enhances bone and soft tissue regeneration
- Minimizes infection risk and post-surgical complications
- Improves overall treatment success rate
Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin Safe?
Yes! Platelet-Rich Fibrin is completely safe since it’s made from your blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. It’s a natural and effective way to accelerate healing for a variety of dental procedures.
