At California Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center in Huntington Beach, CA, we understand that patients undergoing oral and facial surgery are often concerned about their recovery time. The healing period for every patient depends on various factors, such as the type of procedure involved, whether post-operative guidelines are followed, whether the patient’s body has natural healing abilities and more.
What Is PRF?
Thanks to scientific advances, we can assist your body’s healing process following your procedure by supplying a high concentration of growth-stimulating materials directly to the surgical site.
California Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center utilizes the power of Leukocyte Platelet-Rich Fibrin, or L-PRF, to enhance and accelerate the healing process. Taken at the beginning of the procedure, L-PRF is created from the patients own blood sample. When L-PRF is administered directly to the desired area, the amount of growth factors present in a normal blood sample increase three- to five-fold. These growth factors stimulate the natural healing process of your body by introducing an supply of blood to the area, which shortens overall healing time.
When Can I Use PRF Treatment?
L-PRF can be used in various procedures, including bone and gum tissue grafting, dental implant surgery, sinus lifts, and improving facial aesthetics. Patients who utilize these services tend to experience shorter post-surgical pain and swelling.
If you would like to use L-PRF as a part of your treatment plan, we can discuss your options during your initial consultation. We will design a customized treatment plan to produce the best result with optimal healing in mind.
