Your Recovery Shortcut: Advanced-Platelet Rich Fibrin

Quick Summary

Advanced-Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) is a concentrated form of your own blood components that may accelerate healing after dental surgery. It is created by drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate growth factors and healing cells, then applying it to the surgical site to support tissue regeneration and reduce recovery time.

Key Takeaways

• Ask your periodontist if A-PRF is available for your upcoming implant or gum surgery to potentially shorten your healing period.
• A-PRF is derived from your own blood, which means there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction since it uses your body’s natural healing components.
• You can request A-PRF at your consultation to understand how it may reduce swelling, discomfort, and downtime specific to your procedure.
• Confirm with your dental team whether A-PRF is included in your treatment plan or if there is an additional cost to add this healing enhancement.

Many patients are reluctant to undergo periodontal surgery because they fear a long and painful recovery process. However, doctors and scientists have been perfecting a new technology that actually speeds up a patient’s recovery time by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Dr. Alexandre Aalam is proud to be the first periodontist in the country to perform advanced-platelet rich fibrin treatments at the CENTER for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy in Los Angeles. For more information about advanced-platelet rich fibrin, contact Dr. Aalam and Dr. Krivitsky today for a consultation.

Increased Healing with Advanced-Platelet Rich Fibrin

Advanced-platelet rich fibrin is becoming a more widespread treatment in Europe and the United States. While orthopedic and heart surgeons have utilized this therapy for a long time, the technology is now being applied to other specialties like periodontal surgery as well. Dr. Aalam possesses unique training in this exciting new periodontal surgery procedure.

Advanced-platelet rich fibrin is a simple procedure with incredible results. Using a small amount of the patient’s own blood, a board-certified periodontist like Dr. Aalam will create a thin, durable layer of platelet-rich fibrin that is then inserted into the surgical site. This fibrin is rich in proteins that aid in the healing process, allowing wounds to close faster and diminishing the odds of post-surgical infection. Because wounds heal sooner, patients also enjoy a smaller risk of rare complications like dry socket, failed grafting and failed dental implants.

For patients undergoing common periodontal procedures like bone defect surgery, extractions, sinus lifts, gum grafts and more, advanced-platelet rich fibrin treatment is a great way to expedite recovery and get you back to your daily activities sooner. In general, patients who undergo advanced-platelet rich fibrin treatments at the CENTER for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy are extremely satisfied with their end results.

Get the Periodontal Surgery You Need with Less Pain

Is fear of a long, painful recovery process preventing you from scheduling your periodontal surgery? Not only does this revolutionary therapy reduce recovery time, but it also decreases pain and swelling and improves overall patient experience. Many patients are hesitant to pursue periodontal surgery out of a fear of a painful, slow recovery process. While they may desire dental implants to improve their appearance, or require extractions for their health, they are too nervous to see their doctors for treatment. With a promise of less pain, patients may be more likely to schedule oral surgery procedures necessary to ensure long-term oral health and a beautiful smile for years to come.
