L-PRF in Foothill Ranch
L-PRF is also known as Leukocyte- Platelet Rich Fibrin which uses your own white blood cells to aid your body’s immune response to aid in the healing process. The body's growth factors are stimulated by platelets, which draw healing cells to form blood clots that let tissues recover on their own.
At Sharifi Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, our team offers this treatment for oral surgery patients. Oral surgery has a tedious healing process which may take weeks to months for your healing to be completed. There is however a way to facilitate quicker healing by using components within your blood to encourage white blood cells to assist in wound healing. Whether you are receiving dental implants, bone grafting, a sinus lift, or other surgical interventions for your oral health, our team can facilitate healing with L-PFP.
What are some benefits of L-PFP?
- Quicker healing
- Reduces inflammation
- Encourages soft tissue regeneration
- Reduces pain at surgical site
- Reduces risk of infections
How does it work?
Your own blood is taken from the veins and placed in a centrifuge. This step helps separate components in the blood into concentrates which aid you in the healing process. The component within the blood that aids in your healing is called leukocytes which are white blood cells. During healing, leukocytes migrate from blood vessels. This procedure is done entirely by your body and its blood, which we can facilitate!
