Support Your Body's Natural Healing Process
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) uses a small sample of your own blood to create a concentrated layer of platelets and growth factors that can be placed at the treatment site to support your body's natural healing response after certain dental procedures.
Natural support for faster healing — PRF is prepared from your own blood without the use of synthetic materials.
The Benefits Of PRF
Expedited healing
PRF may help reduce post-operative swelling, encourage healthier soft tissue healing, and support a more comfortable recovery following eligible surgical procedures. By concentrating your body's own growth factors at the treatment site, it helps create an environment that supports tissue repair.
Because PRF contains no synthetic materials or additives, it offers a completely natural approach to healing. Instead of introducing foreign materials, we use a resource your body naturally produces to support recovery after surgery.
PRF reflects the same philosophy that guides every treatment at Junction Family Dental Care: combining modern techniques and patient-focused care. It's one more way we support healing while providing personalized treatment designed around your long-term oral health.
What To Expect When PRF Is Used
PRF is prepared and applied during the same appointment as your procedure. It's most commonly used during teeth extractions and bone grafting to help support the healing process. Here's what you can expect from start to finish.
A small blood sample
Before your procedure begins, we'll collect a small sample of blood to prepare your PRF. We take the time to ensure you're comfortable before moving forward, and everything is completed during the same appointment.
Preparing your PRF
Your blood sample is immediately placed into a specialized centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets, fibrin, and growth factors that will be used during your treatment.
PRF application
Once prepared, the PRF is placed directly at the surgical site before your procedure is complete. By delivering a concentrated source of your body's natural healing components exactly where they're needed, PRF becomes part of the recovery process.
Recovery and healing
After your procedure, the PRF remains at the treatment site, supporting your body's natural healing process as you recover at home. We'll also provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you care for the area during healing.
