At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to support faster and more predictable healing during dental implant procedures. PRP is a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood, containing growth factors that help accelerate tissue repair and bone regeneration. This advanced technique enhances the body’s natural healing response, especially in surgical areas where precision and recovery are critical.
PRP is often used in implant dentistry to improve outcomes and reduce complications, particularly when bone or soft tissue regeneration is needed. By integrating PRP into treatment plans, we support long-term implant success while improving comfort and healing time for our patients.
What to Expect from PRP Treatment
The PRP process begins by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood. This sample is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from red and white blood cells. The resulting PRP is collected and applied directly to the surgical site during the implant procedure.
PRP is used to stimulate cell growth and blood flow in the treated area. This encourages faster tissue regeneration and helps the body integrate the implant more efficiently. In cases where bone grafting is needed, PRP can enhance graft stability and healing.
The entire process is safe, minimally invasive and derived from the patient’s own biology. There is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Most patients experience reduced post-operative discomfort and swelling, as PRP helps minimize inflammation and support tissue repair.
Enhancing Implant Success with Natural Healing Support
Platelet-rich plasma is a valuable addition to modern implant dentistry. It is especially beneficial for patients with healing concerns, bone density challenges or those who desire a more comfortable recovery. Our dentist and team use this method when appropriate to enhance the predictability and stability of the implant site.
Because PRP is processed and applied in our office at the time of surgery, it does not add significant time to the procedure. It integrates seamlessly into the treatment plan and supports our commitment to safe, evidence-based care.
