Your body has built-in healing properties, allowing you to recover from scrapes, cuts, and bruises, regenerating tissue where you need it the most. Through the use of injectable PRP therapy, we can expedite your healing process following oral or facial surgery, promoting a smooth recovery and exemplary results. Visit Saline Oral Facial & Dental Implant Surgery in Saline, MI to discuss how PRP treatment can aid your recovery after oral surgery.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Explained

Plasma is a term that refers to the liquid portion of whole blood. Your plasma is composed mostly of water, but it also includes platelets, blood cells that expedite clotting, and other necessary healing functions.

The PRP treatment involves a basic blood draw, allowing us to collect plasma from your body and then spin it in a centrifuge, allowing us to isolate a high concentration of platelets. We then inject these platelets back into your body at the site of your oral or facial surgery. This presents a natural way to enhance your natural healing abilities, promoting a sound, successful recovery.

Part of our mission is to make high-quality oral care as accessible as possible in Saline, MI. The specific cost of PRP can vary from one procedure to the next. When you join us for a consultation, we will be happy to provide a specific price point as well as information about insurance and financing.

During your initial consultation, we will be happy to tell you more about what to expect from PRP therapy.

PRP treatment is very quick, requiring a basic blood draw and then an injection near your surgical site. The latter can be performed while you are under anesthesia for your procedure. Most patients benefit from just a single session at the same time as surgery.

PRP is drawn from your own body and contains only your body’s naturally occurring platelets. As such, there is no risk of rejection, allergy, or adverse effects. The only potential side effect is soreness at the site of the blood draw.

You will see results from your PRP therapy in the form of an abbreviated recovery time, something that should be evident very quickly.

Who is a Candidate for PRP Therapy, and What is it For?

One of the great things about PRP therapy is that it is drawn completely from your own blood, meaning there is no risk of your body rejecting it or having an adverse reaction. PRP can be a safe and effective addition to any surgical procedure, and we often recommend it for patients receiving dental implants, bone grafts, or other surgical interventions that benefit from expedited healing.

What are the Key Benefits of PRP Treatment?

There are a number of advantages to PRP therapy, including:

  • Faster healing for gums and other soft tissues.
  • Greater build-up of bone following a tooth extraction.
  • Enhanced rate of success for bone grafting and implant placement.
  • Faster and smoother recovery following any type of surgery.
