Benefits of PRF

• Safe: PRF is derived entirely from your own blood, so there’s no risk of disease transmission.
• Convenient: Collected and prepared chairside during your surgical visit.
• Accelerated Healing: Continuous release of growth factors supports faster tissue and bone regeneration.
• Cost Effective: PRF can be harvested without the expense of a hospital visit or external blood bank.
• Easy Handling: PRF’s gel-like consistency improves the application of bone grafting materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRF safe? Yes. A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in-office using a specialized centrifuge. The process is quick and fully sterile.

Is PRF used in every grafting case? Not always. Your surgeon will determine if PRF will benefit your specific procedure.

Is PRF covered by insurance? Generally not. The cost, approximately $450, is typically an out-of-pocket expense.

Can PRF be used on its own? No. PRF must be used in combination with a bone graft material—either natural or synthetic—for optimal bone regeneration.

Are there contraindications? Patients with bleeding or hematologic disorders may not be eligible. Your doctor will advise based on your health profile.
