Why We Use PRF

PRF aligns with our commitment to advanced technology, patient safety, and predictable results. When applied to the surgical site, PRF helps:

  • Accelerate gum and soft‑tissue healing
  • Reduce swelling and postoperative discomfort
  • Lower the risk of infection
  • Support bone regeneration and implant success
  • Prevent dry sockets after extractions
  • Promote stronger, healthier long‑term healing

Because PRF is 100% natural and derived from your own blood, it is safe, biocompatible, and free of additives.

How PRF Works

During your procedure, we take a small blood sample and spin it in a specialized centrifuge. This process concentrates your platelets and fibrin, your body’s natural healing components, into a powerful layer that is placed directly into the surgical site.

Because PRF is created from your own blood, it is highly biocompatible and supports faster, healthier healing with minimal inflammation. It also helps reduce the risk of infection by stimulating natural growth factors that clean debris and fight bacteria. For dental implant patients, this accelerated healing is especially beneficial, supporting stronger bone integration and more predictable long‑term results.

Advanced Dentistry. Authentic Testimonials.

“My son recently had his wisdom teeth removed and was very nervous, but the entire team made him feel comfortable from start to finish. They used PRF during his procedure, which helped him heal quickly with far less swelling than expected. The experience was smooth and professional, and it even ended with ice cream from Adel’s. I was impressed by the advanced technology Dr. VanSurksum uses, from online forms and text reminders to state‑of‑the‑art equipment. I highly recommend Facial Designs. Dr. VanSurksum is truly a master of his craft.”
