Accelerate Healing With PRF Therapy
At Young Dental Health Center in Upland, CA, we use Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy to enhance healing and improve the success of dental implants. PRF is a natural, cutting-edge treatment that uses your body's own platelets to speed up the healing process and promote tissue regeneration.
This minimally invasive therapy is designed to help your body heal more quickly, reduce swelling, and improve the long-term outcomes of your dental procedures.
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a concentrated form of your body's own platelets and growth factors, extracted from your blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, and then using the resulting PRF to aid in tissue healing.
PRF is used to improve the healing process after dental procedures such as implant placement, bone grafting, and gum surgery. This natural treatment has been shown to enhance tissue regeneration, reduce infection risk, and accelerate recovery. Since PRF uses your own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is minimized.
How PRF Therapy Works
Small Blood Draw
At the start of your appointment, we draw a small amount of your blood — typically 2–4 vials. The draw is quick and comfortable, similar to a routine blood test. No special preparation required.
Centrifugation
The blood sample is placed in our centrifuge and spun at a precisely calibrated speed for approximately 8–12 minutes. This separates the blood into layers, concentrating the platelets and growth factors into a fibrin matrix.
PRF Preparation & Application
We extract the PRF layer and prepare it for use at the surgical site — inserted into an extraction socket, layered over a bone graft, or positioned around a newly placed implant.
Accelerated Healing
Over the following 2–6 weeks, the concentrated growth factors from your PRF stimulate accelerated tissue regeneration, new blood vessel formation, and bone formation — resulting in faster healing and better outcomes.
Why PRF Therapy is Right For You
- Accelerates Healing: PRF stimulates tissue regeneration and speeds up the healing process, reducing recovery time.
- Reduces Swelling and Discomfort: The growth factors in PRF help minimize inflammation and discomfort following surgery.
- Improves Implant Success: By promoting faster healing and stronger tissue growth, PRF enhances the success rate of dental implants.
- Natural and Safe: Since PRF uses your own platelets, there is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection — a highly safe option.
- Supports Bone and Tissue Regeneration: PRF promotes the healing of both bone and soft tissue for long-term implant success.
- Enhances Bone Integration (Osseointegration): After implant placement, PRF speeds up the process where the implant fuses with the jawbone.
Why choose us for PRF Therapy?
PRF Included as Standard Care
Many practices offer PRF as an expensive optional add-on. At Young Dental Health Center, PRF is part of our standard implant protocol — because we believe every patient deserves the fastest, most comfortable healing possible.
In-House Equipment
We have a centrifuge on-site and prepare PRF fresh at the beginning of every qualifying procedure. No delays, no coordinating with outside labs — your PRF is prepared and applied within minutes of collection.
Evidence-Based Practice
PRF is supported by decades of clinical research across oral surgery, implant dentistry, and periodontics — consistently demonstrating reduced healing time, lower infection rates, and improved graft outcomes.
Beneficial for All Implant Procedures
Whether you're undergoing single tooth placement, All-on-X, sinus lifting, or bone grafting, PRF makes a meaningful difference in healing speed and comfort. The more extensive the procedure, the greater the benefit.
Can Be Used for Multiple Procedures
PRF is also used for tooth extractions (prevents dry socket), gum surgery, bone grafting, and ridge augmentation — a versatile regenerative therapy that enhances outcomes across dental treatments.
