Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma speeds up the healing process by introducing a patient’s own blood platelets in high concentration. PRP promotes healthy healing, rapid vascularization, and bone and gum tissue growth.
How Platelet-Rich Plasma Can Help
At Oral Surgery Services, we want to exceed our patients’ goals for treatment and oral health. That’s why we use advanced techniques in our state-of-the-art practice. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be used together with several oral surgery procedures to promote healing.
Receiving PRP during a surgical procedure has many benefits:
- Faster healing. More blood platelets means the body is able to accelerate healing.
- Safe. The platelets are from the patient’s own blood, so it is a natural and convenient option for treatment.
- Cost-effective. Using the patient’s own blood platelets offers a more economical solution to harvested platelets.
- Versatile. PRP is used in several surgical treatments.
