Why Consider PRF for Dental Procedure in Sunnyvale?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a bioactive material extracted from patients’ blood used in dental and oral surgeries as a regenerative and healing agent. PRF is a collection of platelets, fibrin, leukocytes, proteins, and specific growth factors together that help in healing and bone development. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and repairs the tissue, bone, tooth, and gum after any surgical process. 

Sunnyvale PRF specialists provide you with state-of-art PRF therapy while guiding you throughout the procedure and solving all your concerns.

Extraction of PRF:

1. PRF is extracted from your blood sample and allowed to centrifuge within 2 minutes before the blood coagulates. 
2. The blood sample is then centrifuged in a PRF centrifuge machine for a few minutes. The resulting tube, after centrifugation, has red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. 
3. The PRF is obtained and can be used in the form of membrane, clots, fragments, and small fragments mixed with bone particulate, injectable liquid, or easy gel-like consistency. The PRF can be stored and used for various treatments and can last longer if the extraction is done correctly.

Benefits of using PRF:

1. The PRF is easy to extract and prepare.
2. The extraction is not time-consuming.
