What are PRP treatments?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments involve injecting high concentrations of blood platelets, which contain growth factors that aid in healing from injury or trauma. Our oral surgeons extract a blood sample from you to retrieve the plasma and separate the platelets from other materials. We use this platelet concentrate and growth factors to regenerate bone in your jaw. As the platelets develop over time, they promote healthy bone growth and accelerate recovery from a bone grafting procedure.

How does stem cell therapy work?
Stem cells possess a unique capability to transform into various cell types like bone, muscle, tissue, and tendons. Utilizing stem cells post bone grafting can aid in the regeneration of fresh, healthy bone growth. Stem cell therapy functions akin to PRP injections, however, our oral surgeons may choose to utilize stem cells from your bone marrow instead of your blood. Following the injection, these stem cells evolve into new, healthy bone and tissue to enhance the healing process in your jaw post grafting surgery.
