What Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)?

PRF is a healing material made from your own blood. It’s rich in platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors, all important ingredients your body already uses to heal itself.

In dentistry and oral surgery, PRF is often applied to surgical sites such as extraction sockets, implant placements, and bone grafts. It helps reduce inflammation, speed up tissue regeneration, and improve overall healing outcomes.

For example, after a tooth is removed, applying PRF to the area can minimize discomfort and lower the risk of dry socket. When used during implant surgery, PRF helps your bone and gums heal more efficiently around the implant.

How Is PRF Prepared?

The process is simple and completed right in our office. A small amount of blood is drawn, similar to what you'd expect during a basic lab test. The sample is then placed in a centrifuge, a device that spins the blood to separate its components.

Within minutes, we extract the fibrin-rich layer and apply it directly to the surgical site. No chemicals or additives are used—just your body’s natural healing agents.

Safe, Gentle, and Chemical-Free

PRF is 100% natural and biocompatible because it comes from your own body. There are no synthetic materials involved, which means the risk of allergic reactions or infection is extremely low. It’s a safe, trusted option for patients of all ages.

Is PRF Right for You?

PRF is a great option for patients undergoing extractions, dental implants, or bone grafting. It’s especially helpful if you prefer a more natural healing approach or want to reduce your recovery time.

Most healthy patients are eligible, but we’ll review your medical history to make sure it’s the best fit.
