A biologic, all-natural technique that concentrates a patient’s own healing factors to support faster, more predictable healing after periodontal and implant procedures.
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a biologic material derived entirely from a patient’s own blood, used to support healing during periodontal and implant procedures.
A small blood sample is drawn at the time of treatment and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors into a dense fibrin matrix — without any additives or synthetic processing.
PRF may be incorporated into a variety of procedures, utilized as a source of growth factors or replacement for a gum graft. PRF can support the body’s natural healing response and has even been shown to reduce postoperative discomfort.
Because PRF is made entirely from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of a rejection, allergic reaction or disease transmission. This provides the benefit of growth factors while avoiding synthetic materials or donor tissue — making it a safe, natural addition to many regenerative and surgical procedures.
