Your Body’s Natural Healing Accelerator
Just last month, Robert, a 65-year-old Batavia resident, came to me worried about his upcoming implant procedure. Having experienced slow healing from a previous oral surgery years ago, he was concerned about complications. I explained how a simple PRF draw could make a significant difference in his recovery process. After incorporating PRF into his treatment, he was amazed at how quickly and comfortably he healed compared to his previous experience. At Marco V. Colella, DMD, PLLC, the PRF draw process has become an integral part of our surgical protocols. During my 12 years of dental practice serving the Batavia community, I’ve seen remarkable improvements in healing times and surgical outcomes since incorporating this advanced biological technique. It’s a simple addition to your procedure that can make a world of difference in your recovery experience.
The Science Behind Better Healing
The PRF draw is a straightforward process that allows us to harness your body’s natural healing capabilities. During your appointment, we collect a small blood sample—similar to what you’d experience during a routine blood test. This sample is immediately processed in our specialized centrifuge right in our Batavia office. The centrifugation process separates your blood components, concentrating platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin into a powerful healing matrix rich in growth factors. Unlike older techniques that used additives, our PRF process is completely natural, using only your own biological materials. The resulting PRF contains concentrated levels of proteins and growth factors that stimulate cell migration, tissue growth, and new blood vessel formation when applied to surgical sites. These growth factors act as signaling molecules, essentially instructing your cells to speed up the healing process. Most patients experience reduced swelling, less discomfort, and faster tissue regeneration when PRF is incorporated into their treatment.
Personalized Healing Enhancement in Every Case
What distinguishes our PRF draw approach is our commitment to customizing the protocol for each patient’s specific needs and procedure type. We’ve refined our centrifugation settings and processing techniques to optimize the quality of PRF for different clinical applications. For bone grafting procedures, we modify the PRF preparation to maximize bone-stimulating factors that enhance mineralization and density. In soft tissue cases, we adapt the protocol to emphasize factors that promote rapid epithelialization and improved gum aesthetics. Our advanced centrifuge allows us to create different PRF consistencies—from liquid injectable forms to solid membrane-like structures—giving us versatility in application methods based on the specific surgical site. The entire draw and processing procedure adds just minutes to your appointment time while potentially saving days or weeks in your recovery period. Many patients appreciate that this biological approach reduces their need for pain medication after surgical procedures. We particularly recommend PRF draws for patients with factors that might complicate healing, such as diabetes, advanced age, or a history of slow recovery from previous procedures.
