for Optimal Dental Health
What Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an advanced technique that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities. For years, PRF treatments have been successfully utilized in various applications, including skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
In dentistry, we employ PRF to accelerate soft tissue healing and promote bone regeneration following surgeries such as bone grafting and dental implant placement. At Great Lakes Periodontics in Grand Rapids and Wyoming, MI, Dr. James Papp consistently integrates PRF into our procedures to help you achieve lasting healing and optimal oral health.
What Are the Benefits of PRF Treatment?

- Makes the healing process faster
- Antibacterial effects help to prevent infection
- Antihemorrhagic effects help stop post-operative bleeding
- Prevents contamination of surgical sites after bone graft or implant surgery
- Reduces pain after surgery
- Completely natural
- No risk of rejection because it’s derived from your own body
- Easy to perform, predictably successful, and affordable
What to Expect from PRF Treatment
PRF treatment in Grand Rapids and Wyoming, MI, is a simple process that starts with collecting a small blood sample, about the same amount as would be taken for a typical blood test. We will put your blood in our centrifuge to separate the different materials in your blood and isolate the healing factors. Since it takes less than 20 minutes to prepare, these healing factors are living and bioactive when we apply them to your surgical site.
Depending on your specific needs, we may mix PRF with your bone graft material or prepare it for placement in your surgical site. PRF is so effective at improving osseous integration that we prefer to apply it during nearly every dental implant surgery as part of our routine.
