Quicker healing time dental implant treatment

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of plasma rich proteins within the bloodstream with ‘clotting’ properties, which prevent further bleeding and enable healing in an injury.  What we know today, is that these PRPs have additional significant properties, which are essential to healing.  Developments in modern medicine have now enabled us to identify and extract PRPs from the bloodstream to be used to help promote and enhance healing at an injury site, also known as PRP therapy.

PRP therapy has now been clinically proven to be effective in aiding oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, such as dental implant treatment as well as procedures to support its success.

Whether you have suffered tooth loss or if the health of your remaining teeth has severely deteriorated or decayed. Dental implant treatment is the closest procedure to regaining your natural tooth or teeth back. A dental implant is a small titanium screw placed into the jawbone, which mimics the root of a natural tooth. An implant is then fitted with a dental crown or bridge, which looks as well as feels like a natural tooth or teeth.

The dental implant procedure is a type of dental surgery and dental implants can take 4-6 months to heal, although,  this is dependable on your individual case. In a time where Amazon can offer same day delivery, one of the most common questions that we get asked by our patients is…“Is there any way to speed up healing after implants have been placed?” The answer is yes, one of the most successful as well as viable procedures, clinically proven to enhance healing by 40% is Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.

The Science

Platelet-rich plasma proteins are taken from the patient at the time of treatment through taking a small blood sample.  PRP is then prepared through centrifugation. The centrifugation separates the platelet-rich plasma from the platelet poor plasma and red blood cells through gravity. We do this right here at the clinic using a Harvest Centrifuge platelet concentration system. This takes as little as 15 minutes.

The Therapy

The PRP is then administered at the site of surgery, which enhances healing through attracting stem cells to regenerate tissue and or bone. As the platelet-rich plasmas are from the patient themselves, this is completely safe, 100% biocompatible and enhances healing by 40%.
