What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma – Explained
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of your own blood’s healing components—specifically, platelets and growth factors. These powerful elements naturally help your body repair tissue and regenerate bone. During your procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed in-office to separate out the PRP, which is then applied to surgical areas to promote faster and more efficient healing.
PRP enhances your body’s natural healing process—especially helpful after oral surgery or dental implant procedures. Platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue and bone regeneration. When concentrated into a surgical site, PRP can: Speed up healing Improve tissue regeneration Support new bone growth Reduce post-operative discomfort
Why Use PRP?
PRP is frequently used to support healing in the following procedures:
Dental implant surgery
Bone grafting and ridge augmentation
Sinus lift procedures
Repair of defects after tooth extractions or cyst removal
Cleft palate or fistula repair
Is PRP Right for You?
PRP is not necessary in all cases, but it’s a helpful addition for most bone grafting and implant procedures. Your surgeon will determine whether PRP will benefit your specific treatment plan.
Note: PRP is not typically covered by insurance. The out-of-pocket cost is approximately $400.
