What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing abilities to enhance oral health and recovery. At Metropolitan Periodontists, located in Minneapolis, MN, we’re proud to provide this innovative solution as part of our comprehensive periodontal care. Whether you’re addressing gum disease, preparing for dental implants, or seeking to improve recovery after oral surgery, PRF is an advanced, effective, and natural way to support your healing process.
How PRF Works
PRF involves drawing a small sample of your blood and processing it in a specialized centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fibrin layer. This layer contains platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells, which are essential for promoting tissue regeneration and expediting healing. Unlike synthetic materials, PRF harnesses your body’s own resources, making it a biocompatible and safe option for periodontal procedures.
The PRF solution is then carefully applied to the treatment area to stimulate tissue growth, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery. Combined with expert periodontal care from our team, including Dr. Elias Kersten and Dr. Mark M. Wilson, PRF ensures personalized and advanced treatment for every patient.
Benefits of PRF
Choosing PRF for your periodontal care offers significant benefits, including:
- Faster Healing – PRF accelerates the healing process, allowing you to recover more efficiently.
- Natural and Safe – Since PRF comes from your own blood, there’s no risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects.
- Enhanced Outcomes – PRF supports tissue regeneration, making it ideal for procedures like dental implants or gum restoration.
- Minimized Discomfort – By reducing inflammation and supporting healing, PRF can help manage post-treatment sensitivity and discomfort.
At Metropolitan Periodontists, we combine PRF with our state-of-the-art technology and advanced techniques for superior treatment outcomes.
