Healing after a tooth extraction or a gum graft can take time, and many patients worry about swelling, discomfort, or a long recovery. Some patients also hesitate at the idea of using donor or synthetic material during a graft and wonder if a more natural option exists. Revive Dentistry offers Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy for patients in Orange City, FL, who want a gentler approach to healing.
Dr. Omid Khezri has offered PRF for years, and patient response has been strong enough that our team now recommends it more often during grafting and extraction procedures. As part of our broader oral surgery services, PRF gives our patients another option for supporting recovery after certain procedures.
PRF therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, drawn right in our office. We place the sample in a centrifuge, which spins it at a high speed and separates it into distinct layers. The result is a fibrin matrix rich in platelets and growth factors your body already produces on its own.
Once prepared, we place the PRF directly into the treatment site, whether that is a bone graft area or a socket after an extraction. This matrix supports your body’s own healing response instead of introducing material from another person, an animal, or a lab-made substitute. Patients receiving dental implants may also benefit from PRF, as it can support healing around the implant site.
Dr. Khezri often incorporates PRF when performing bone grafting or tooth extractions. Adding PRF to a graft site can help the area heal faster and may reduce swelling and discomfort afterward. For extractions, placing PRF into the empty socket supports tissue healing and helps preserve the surrounding bone.
This approach fits naturally alongside our restorative dentistry services, where healthy healing is the foundation for lasting results. Patients who choose PRF therapy often notice several benefits, including:
These benefits are one reason PRF has become a valued part of our grafting and extraction procedures.
PRF is supported by a growing body of clinical research. A 2020 clinical study published through the National Institutes of Health found that PRF improved soft tissue healing and encouraged bone regeneration in the socket following tooth extraction. This kind of evidence gives patients another reason to feel good about choosing a natural healing option.
PRF may be a good fit if you are having a tooth extraction, need bone grafting, or want extra support for healing around a dental implant. Dr. Khezri can review your treatment plan and discuss whether PRF may be able to help your recovery.
Every patient’s mouth and treatment needs are different, so we build a plan around your specific situation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
