What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma.” Platelets are special blood cells that help put a stop to bleeding by forming clots to seal damaged blood vessels. Meanwhile, plasma is the liquid part of your blood that contains platelets along with red blood cells and white blood cells.
By drawing the plasma out of your blood and concentrating the platelets, we can create PRP, which contains growth factors that can help with healing. Applying PRP to the area where oral surgery was performed can reduce the amount of time that your mouth needs to recover.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
Step one is to produce PRP. This is done by taking a sample of your blood and placing it in a centrifuge. This device will spin at high speeds in order to separate the other components of the blood while concentrating the platelets. Once PRP has been acquired, it can be applied to the surgical site. The growth factors in the PRP will stimulate the cells in the area, thus letting you heal at a faster rate.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is a proven way to aid with the recovery process, with many hospitals taking full advantage of the treatment. By administering PRP therapy after your oral surgery, we can help you enjoy the following important benefits:
- A Lower Chance of an Infection: The last thing you want after oral surgery is for an infection to occur before the healing process is complete. Luckily, one of the benefits of PRP is to help seal off the surgical site. This will ensure that you have sufficient protection against the bacteria that may cause an infection.
- A Faster Recovery with Less Discomfort: It’s natural for there to be a little bit of discomfort in the days following your oral surgery. However, because PRP therapy speeds up healing, it has the side benefit of also reducing the amount of time that your discomfort lasts.
- A Safe, Reliable Treatment: One of the advantages of PRP treatment is that it uses your own blood. As such, you won’t have to worry about any of the risks that would come with using blood taken from a donor, such as contracting a disease.
