Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Supporting Healing with Platelet Rich Fibrin

What Is Platelet Rich Fibrin?

Platelet Rich Fibrin, commonly known as PRF, is a treatment that uses components from a patient's own blood to support the body's natural healing process.

PRF contains platelets, growth factors, and other components that may help promote tissue regeneration and healing following certain oral surgery procedures.

At Desert Oral Surgery, PRF may be considered as part of a personalized treatment plan when appropriate.

How PRF Works

Using the Body's Natural Healing Process

  1. A Small Blood Sample

    During a PRF procedure, a small amount of the patient's blood is collected at the time of treatment.

  2. Concentrating the Sample

    The sample is processed to concentrate the beneficial components that support healing.

  3. Placement

    The resulting PRF material is placed in specific treatment areas where additional support may be beneficial.

Because PRF is created from the patient's own blood, it is a natural addition to select oral surgery procedures.

Supporting Recovery After Treatment

PRF may be used during procedures such as dental implant placement, bone grafting, and other oral surgery treatments where supporting the healing process is important.

Your oral surgeon will evaluate your individual needs and determine whether PRF may be beneficial as part of your treatment plan.
