Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural biomaterial derived from fractioning your own blood into parts. The resulting fibrin matrix is rich in platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells—all of which enhance tissue healing and regeneration.
While both platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and PRF are derived from your blood, the fibrin clot slowly releases growth factors over time, thereby supporting longer-lasting healing than thinner PRP. At Implant & Periodontal Associates Northwest, we offer this regenerative treatment in Richland, WA, to hasten recovery for various periodontal , implant, and oral surgery procedures.
If we determine together that PRF is beneficial for your procedure, our periodontist, Dr. Vikas Puri, will draw a small amount of blood from your arm, just as in a routine lab test. The blood is spun in a special centrifuge for about 10–15 minutes, separating it into layers.
The middle layer, rich in platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells, is collected and then placed directly onto the surgical site or combined with bone graft material. PRF in Richland, WA, nourishes grafted soft and/or hard tissue, helps grafts integrate, and promotes new tissue regeneration.
At Implant & Periodontal Associates Northwest, we take pride in offering innovative, affordable, and minimally invasive technologies that enhance the patient experience. The cost of PRF treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your procedure, the number of sites treated, and whether this is combined with other therapies.
PRF may add a modest expense to the overall treatment plan, but faster healing, reduced complications, and improved outcomes often make it a worthwhile investment. And in addition to competitive prices, we offer dental financing to ensure your restoration journey is as gentle on your wallet as your mouth!
