Harness Your Body's Own Healing Power

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced healing therapy that uses a concentrated preparation of your own platelets and growth factors to accelerate the body's natural healing process. A small sample of blood is drawn before your procedure, spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRF layer, and then applied directly to the surgical site.

The growth factors in PRF stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and provide a stable fibrin matrix that protects the healing site. Patients who receive PRF typically experience less post-operative swelling and discomfort, faster soft tissue closure, and a significantly reduced risk of dry socket after extractions.

At Accent Family Dentistry in Angier, NC, Dr. Brenda Gong offers PRF therapy as an adjunct to extractions, socket preservation, and other oral surgery procedures.

How PRF Is Prepared and Used

Before your procedure begins, a small amount of blood is drawn — typically one to two tubes, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is immediately placed in a centrifuge and spun for approximately 10–12 minutes. This separates the blood into distinct layers; the PRF layer — rich in platelets, fibrin, and growth factors — is collected and shaped into a membrane or gel. This PRF material is then placed directly into the extraction socket or surgical site, where it releases growth factors over several days to support healing.

PRF Combined with Bone Grafting

PRF is particularly effective when combined with socket preservation bone grafting. The growth factors in PRF stimulate bone-forming cells and enhance the integration of the graft material with your own bone. Together, PRF and bone grafting create an optimal environment for new bone formation — giving you the best possible foundation for future dental implant placement. Dr. Gong will discuss whether combining these treatments is appropriate for your individual case.

FAQs

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) in Angier, NC — Frequently Asked Questions

PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. It is a concentration of platelets and growth factors derived from a small sample of your own blood. When spun in a centrifuge, the blood separates into layers — the PRF layer is collected and applied to surgical sites to accelerate natural healing.

Yes. Because PRF is derived entirely from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission. It is a natural, autologous (self-derived) treatment with an excellent safety profile.

Dry socket occurs when the blood clot in an extraction site is lost before healing is complete. PRF provides a stable, fibrin-rich matrix that acts as a more durable protective covering for the socket — significantly reducing the risk of dry socket compared to a standard blood clot alone.

The only additional step involved in PRF is a small blood draw (similar to a routine blood test) before your procedure. The PRF is then placed at the surgical site, which is already anesthetized. There is no additional discomfort associated with PRF beyond the procedure itself.

Yes. PRF is frequently combined with socket preservation bone grafting. The PRF provides growth factors that stimulate bone regeneration and soft tissue healing, enhancing the outcome of the graft. Dr. Gong may recommend combining both treatments for optimal results.
