Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Gibsonia & Pittsburgh, PA
Accelerated Healing With PRP Therapy in Dentistry
Healing is a critical part of any dental procedure—especially those involving surgery, bone grafting, or implant placement. At Chips Dental Associates, we offer advanced Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to promote faster, more comfortable recovery after dental surgeries. This natural, patient-derived treatment enhances tissue regeneration and reduces healing time, making it an ideal addition to many restorative and surgical procedures.
PRP therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets that are rich in growth factors. These platelets are then applied to surgical sites to boost the body's healing response. Because PRP is completely autologous (from your own body), it is safe, biocompatible, and highly effective at reducing inflammation and post-operative discomfort.
How PRP Therapy Works
PRP is a form of regenerative medicine that utilizes the healing components of your blood to improve the outcome of dental procedures. The process is quick and performed right in our office during your scheduled visit.
Here’s how it works:
- Blood Collection – A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine lab test.
- Centrifugation – The sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from other blood components.
- Application – The concentrated PRP is applied directly to the surgical site to stimulate tissue regeneration.
The growth factors released by the platelets help accelerate wound healing, reduce swelling, and improve the integration of grafts or implants. PRP is commonly used alongside procedures like bone grafting, dental implants, and tooth extractions.
Benefits of PRP in Dental Procedures
Incorporating PRP into your dental treatment plan offers several clinical advantages:
- Faster healing after oral surgery
- Reduced risk of infection
- Minimal inflammation and swelling
- Improved soft tissue and bone regeneration
- Lower risk of complications
- No synthetic materials—100% natural and patient-derived
PRP can be especially beneficial for patients undergoing procedures that require enhanced healing, such as gum grafting, oral surgery, or Stabili-Teeth™ same-day implant solutions.
When Is PRP Therapy Recommended?
While not required for all treatments, PRP is often recommended in the following cases:
- Dental implant placement to improve osseointegration
- Bone grafting to enhance graft stability
- Tooth extractions, especially wisdom teeth, to speed up recovery
- Periodontal surgery for gum and bone regeneration
- Sinus lifts or ridge augmentations
Our team will discuss whether PRP is appropriate for your treatment plan during your consultation.
