Benefits of PRF Therapy for Dental Implants

Posted By: Dr. Stan Kovtun | Published On: | Dental Implants, Gum Disease
What is PRP therapy

Platelet-rich fibrin therapy is an effective and cutting-edge treatment in dentistry today. PRF is concentrated blood plasma that contains various growth factors which stimulate healing and regeneration in the human body. Our blood contains plasma and millions of platelets rich in growth factors with the ability to regenerate and repair tissue. PRF therapy offers a technique for expedited healing that is simple, cost-effective, and reliable.

Dental implant surgery helps preserve the remaining natural bone after extraction and by inducing bone stimulation and reducing shrinkage. As an added benefit, we use PRF in all surgeries to further strengthen and enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration. The ability of platelets to significantly accelerate the healing of damaged tissues is applied not only in aesthetic medicine, but PRF therapy has great and numerous regenerative benefits in all dental surgeries.

One of the main advantages of PRF is that it is obtained from the patient’s body and it’s almost impossible to have an allergic reaction or an immune rejection. In PRF therapy, the patient’s own blood is drawn out and spun rapidly, using very specific speeds and time protocols to result in a very high concentration of platelets. When this heavily concentrated portion of the blood is isolated, it contains three to five times the number of growth factors found in a normal same of blood! PRF therapy allows patients to take advantage of the body’s natural healing at a greatly accelerated rate.

Platelet-rich fibrin (or PRF therapy) is widely used to accelerate healing and has proven valuable when used in conjunction with dental implant procedures, tooth extraction, and bone grafts. PRF therapy is used to reduce post-operative pain, promote tissue repair, reduce healing times, and contribute to faster tissue and bone regeneration.

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
