At South Littleton Family Dental, we’re proud to offer advanced techniques that enhance healing and improve patient comfort—including Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatment, a natural way to speed up recovery after oral surgery.
Whether you’re receiving a dental implant, a tooth extraction, or bone grafting, PRF can significantly reduce healing time, minimize complications, and promote tissue regeneration. If you’re looking for a safer, more effective recovery with fewer medications and better outcomes, PRF treatment could be the solution you didn’t know you needed.
What Is PRF Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a natural byproduct of your own blood, rich in platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins. It is created by drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and isolating the fibrin matrix that contains concentrated healing components. This substance is then placed at the surgical site to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue regeneration.
Unlike synthetic alternatives or medications, PRF is 100% biocompatible—because it’s made from your own body. That makes it ideal for patients looking for holistic, safe, and biologically-friendly healing support.
How PRF Enhances Your Recovery
When you undergo oral surgery, your body immediately begins working to repair tissue and close the wound. PRF treatment supercharges this process. By placing PRF directly at the surgical site, we deliver a powerful boost of natural healing agents exactly where they’re needed.
Benefits of PRF treatment include:
- Faster healing time and reduced post-operative discomfort
- Lower risk of infection and dry socket after tooth extraction
- Improved success rates for bone grafts and dental implants
- Enhanced soft tissue regeneration and bone density
- Less need for pain medications and antibiotics
PRF supports not just quicker recovery, but better long-term outcomes—especially for patients undergoing more complex dental procedures.
When Is PRF Used In Dentistry?
We often recommend PRF treatment for a variety of oral procedures, including:
- Tooth extractions, especially wisdom teeth or surgical removals
- Dental implant placement to encourage integration with the jawbone
- Bone grafting to improve healing and bone density
- Periodontal surgery or soft tissue grafting
- Sinus lifts and other advanced procedures
If you’re interested in optimizing your healing or have a history of slow recovery, PRF may be a great addition to your care plan. During your consultation, we’ll review your treatment needs and determine whether PRF is right for you.
The PRF Procedure: Quick, Simple, & Natural
One of the best things about PRF treatment is how easy and comfortable it is. Here’s what to expect:
- We draw a small amount of your blood, similar to a routine lab test.
- The sample is placed in a centrifuge, where it spins for several minutes to separate the PRF from the other blood components.
- The PRF is then prepared and placed into the treatment area immediately after your procedure.
The entire process is quick, efficient, and done chairside—adding just a few minutes to your visit while offering significant benefits for your healing and comfort.
Why PRF Is A Smart, Natural Choice
Patients today are seeking more natural approaches to medicine and healing—and PRF fits perfectly into that vision. Since it’s made from your own blood and free from additives or chemicals, PRF is not only effective but extremely safe. There is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, and because it’s a minimally processed substance, the body welcomes it with ease.
Plus, patients often experience less swelling, bruising, and post-operative pain, making their overall recovery smoother and more pleasant.
