At Summerland Dental Centre, we use Platelet Rich Fibrin or PRF technology due to its ability to accelerate natural healing after an extraction, implants, and oral surgery.
Please contact our skilled dentists near you to learn more about PRF technology and how it can help you recover faster.
What Is Platelet Rich Fibrin?
Our blood contains a component known as platelets that helps in natural healing. Platelets help wounds clot and heal. Their healing properties extend to the field of dentistry also and our experienced dentists in Summerland, BC, now offer PRF technology to help patients.
PRF technology not only helps heal wounds faster, but it also results in complete wound healing compared to leaving the wound to heal on its own. We use platelet-rich fibrin near you to reduce swelling and decrease surgical pain after extraction. In addition, PRF technology also improves osseointegration (integration of bone) to provide support for dental implants. Our highly trained dentists will draw one vial of blood to extract platelets during a quick process.
How Does Platelet Rich Fibrin Work?
During oral surgery, the jawbone is exposed and has very little blood supply. Due to this, the area takes longer to heal. Once implants have been placed, Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) can help accelerate healing and improve oral wellbeing.
Our experienced dentists at Summerland Dental Centre place PRF in implant and extraction sites to aid the healing process.
Benefits of Platelet Rich Fibrin
PRF technology provides a host of benefits, including:
- Faster healing after extraction, implants, and wisdom tooth removal
- Reduced post-procedure pain and swelling
- Accelerated bone healing after implant procedures
- Decreased likelihood of dry socket problem after extraction
The main goal of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in Summerland, BC, is its ability to nourish surgical sites and improve healing. We can extract blood for PRF as we perform oral surgery, so there is no need to schedule extra time for this.
