Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural healing material made from a small sample of your own blood. It contains a concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors that play a central role in healing and tissue regeneration.
At ProMax Implants & Oral Surgery, we use PRF in Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ, to enhance recovery after a range of procedures, including dental implants, bone grafting, and oral surgery. Because it comes entirely from your own body, PRF works in harmony with your natural healing process.
By concentrating your body’s own healing components and placing them right where they are needed, PRF supports stronger, more predictable recovery. Benefits include:
PRF therapy starts with a simple blood draw, much like a routine lab test. The sample is placed in a specialized centrifuge that separates and concentrates the healing components into a fibrin-rich layer filled with regenerative cells and proteins.
This material is then applied directly to the surgical site or combined with grafting material. In procedures such as PRF bone grafting or PRF for dental implants, this approach supports tissue integration, strengthens healing, and encourages the formation of healthy new bone and gum tissue, all without synthetic additives.
Because PRF is made entirely from your own blood, it’s a safe, well-tolerated option for most patients undergoing oral surgery, implant placement, or grafting procedures. It works naturally with your body, which makes it a comfortable fit for most treatment plans. That said, a few factors can affect whether PRF is right for you, including:
Our focus on natural, minimally invasive techniques is part of what makes recovery at ProMax Implants & Oral Surgery more comfortable. Because PRF speeds healing and supports tissue stability, many patients experience fewer complications and a smoother recovery. One of its most valued benefits is a reduced risk of dry socket after extractions and wisdom teeth removal.
PRF may add a modest cost depending on the complexity of your treatment, but for many patients, the faster healing and added stability make it well worth it. Flexible financing is available to help make regenerative therapy more accessible. For referring dentists, PRF offers a way to improve healing and comfort for the surgical cases you send our way.
Not beyond what you’d expect from a routine blood draw. The only added step is collecting a small blood sample, similar to a standard lab test, and most patients find it quick and easy. The PRF itself is applied during your procedure while the surgical site is already numb.
Only a small sample is needed, comparable to what’s collected during a typical lab visit. It’s a quick draw that takes just a few minutes.
Very little. After your blood is drawn, it spins in the centrifuge for several minutes while your procedure is prepared, so PRF is created and applied during the same visit, with no separate appointment required.
Because PRF supports healing from the start, many patients notice less swelling and discomfort in the days following surgery. The deeper benefits, like stronger bone and tissue regeneration, continue working behind the scenes throughout your recovery.

PRF is safe and effective for most patients, but certain health conditions and medications can affect candidacy. A consultation is the best way to confirm whether PRF is a good fit for your specific situation.
