Advantages of PRP

• Safe: PRP is made from your own blood, eliminating the risk of disease transmission.
• Convenient: Collected and prepared during your surgical visit—no hospital visit required.
• Faster Recovery: Enhanced healing leads to less discomfort and quicker return to normal function.
• Cost Effective: Performed in-office, PRP reduces the need for costly hospital-based procedures.
• Improved Handling: PRP makes bone graft materials more gel-like and easier to apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP safe? Yes. A small amount of your blood is processed during surgery to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes.

Is PRP used in every bone grafting case? Not always. While beneficial in most cases, your surgeon will determine if PRP will enhance your particular procedure.

Is PRP covered by insurance? Typically, no. The procedure costs around $400 and is paid out-of-pocket.

Can PRP be used alone? No. PRP must be combined with bone graft material—either your own bone, donor bone, or a synthetic product—to promote bone growth.

Are there any contraindications? Patients with certain blood or bleeding disorders may not be candidates. Your surgeon will assess your suitability based on your health history.
