Extraction with PRF

When is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?  

Tooth extraction is recommended if the tooth is too damaged or infected. If a tooth is not treatable or threatens the health of the surrounding dental structures and your overall health, Dr. Fotek will recommend the tooth to be pulled and replaced with a new tooth such as a biocompatible implant.  

What is PRF?

PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin and is derived from processing your own blood. This substance is used in conjunction with many oral surgeries to accelerate your body’s healing capacity and reduce recovery time. PRF contains healing factors, stem cells and helps form blood clots for quicker tissue regeneration.

Why Use PRF With Tooth Extractions?  

PRF has a wide array of uses in esthetic medicine and dentistry. This treatment is especially effective immediately after a tooth extraction, minimizing the chance of post-extraction complications, reducing the discomfort after the extraction and almost guaranteeing you won't get a dry socket. PRF helps heal the extraction area faster, which means there is less opportunity for late infections to develop and a quicker recovery time.
