PRP Therapy
Enhancing Healing Through Regenerative Science
Supporting Faster, Stronger Recovery
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a proven regenerative therapy that uses a concentrated form of your own blood to accelerate healing and tissue regeneration. At Star Oral Surgery, we incorporate PRP into a variety of procedures, including dental implants, bone grafting, and surgical extractions, to reduce healing time, decrease inflammation, and support predictable outcomes.
PRP is completely biocompatible, safe, and derived from your body’s own natural growth factors.
What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma is produced by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and processing it in a centrifuge. This separates the plasma rich in platelets, cell fragments essential to clotting and healing.
This concentrated PRP is then applied directly to the surgical site during the procedure to:
- Stimulate soft tissue regeneration
- Promote bone cell proliferation
- Reduce post-operative discomfort and swelling
- Enhance clot stability and graft integration
PRP contains powerful growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF, which have been shown to accelerate both hard and soft tissue repair.
When Is PRP Used?
PRP may be recommended in the following procedures:
- Bone grafting (to promote graft incorporation and healing)
- Dental implant surgery (to support osseointegration and soft tissue closure)
- Tooth extractions (to reduce the risk of dry socket and speed recovery)
- Sinus lift or ridge augmentation
- Exposure and bonding (for improved tissue healing)
Because PRP is autologous, meaning it comes from your own body, there is no risk of rejection or disease transmission.
The PRP Process
- Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn at the beginning of your procedure.
- Processing: The blood is spun in a high-speed centrifuge to isolate the platelets.
- Application: The PRP is delivered directly to the surgical site to support healing from the inside out.
The process is quick, comfortable, and fully integrated into your treatment with no additional downtime.
