What it is
Healing, drawn from your own body
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a regenerative technique that uses a small sample of your own blood, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the natural platelets and growth factors that drive healing. Because it comes entirely from you — with no additives — it is highly biocompatible. PRF is most often used alongside procedures such as extractions, bone grafting, and implant surgery to support tissue regeneration.
Why patients consider this treatment
May support faster soft-tissue and bone healing at the surgical site
Concentrated growth factors can help reduce swelling and discomfort
Often combined with grafting to build a strong foundation for implants
What to expect, step by step
- 01
Small blood draw
A small sample of your blood is taken, much like a routine blood test, usually while the area is being numbed.
- 02
Centrifuge processing
The sample is spun to concentrate the platelets and fibrin into a natural healing matrix.
- 03
Placement
The PRF is placed directly into the treatment site (for example, an extraction socket or graft area).
- 04
Guided healing
We provide aftercare instructions and follow up to monitor your recovery.
Frequently asked questions
Is PRF safe?
Because PRF is made from your own blood with no chemical additives, it is considered highly biocompatible. Your dentist will review your medical history to confirm it is suitable for you.
Does the blood draw hurt?
It is similar to a standard blood test and is usually done while you are already being numbed for your procedure, so most patients find it very manageable.
Will PRF replace a bone graft?
PRF is typically used to support healing alongside grafting rather than as a stand-alone replacement. Your dentist will recommend the right combination for your case.
