Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Harnessing Your Body's Natural Healing Power

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a remarkable treatment that taps into the body’s natural ability to heal itself. By using components from the patient’s own blood, PRP accelerates healing and supports tissue regeneration. It concentrates platelets and growth factors to enhance the body’s repair processes, offering a powerful boost to recovery.

At {Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman incorporates PRP therapy into oral surgeries to help patients heal faster and feel better sooner. This advanced approach reduces inflammation, lowers the risk of infection, and improves tissue and bone regeneration. It’s a proven, research-backed method that has been used in fields like sports medicine and orthopedics, and it’s making a big difference for oral surgery patients too. With PRP, patients can heal more quickly, experience less discomfort, and return to their normal routines with confidence.

The Procedure

What Your Patients Can Expect

Blood Collection

PRP therapy starts with a simple blood draw—just like a routine medical test. A small amount of blood is collected to create the PRP, ensuring it’s 100% biocompatible and free from risks like allergic reactions or disease transmission. Our team takes every step to make sure patients feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process.

PRP Preparation

The blood sample is then placed into a specialized centrifuge, which separates the components of the blood and concentrates the platelets and growth factors into a PRP solution. This is done in-house, so the PRP is fresh and ready to use right away during the procedure.

Application During Surgery

During the oral surgery, Dr. Harriman applies the PRP directly to the surgical site. This step integrates seamlessly into the procedure and enhances the body’s natural healing mechanisms. It doesn’t add time to the surgery but significantly boosts tissue regeneration and reduces inflammation, helping patients recover faster and more comfortably.

Post-Operative Benefits

After the procedure, patients often notice less swelling and discomfort compared to traditional healing methods. PRP continues working behind the scenes, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing complications. We provide personalized aftercare instructions to maximize these benefits and ensure a smooth recovery.

Boosting Recovery And Healing Naturally

The Science Behind PRP's Effectiveness

illustration

Natural Healing Boost When a patient undergoes oral surgery, their body naturally sends platelets to the area to jumpstart the healing process. These platelets are packed with growth factors that encourage tissue repair and cell regeneration. PRP therapy enhances this natural process by isolating and concentrating those platelets, giving the body an extra push to heal faster and more efficiently. Reduced Inflammation and Pain PRP therapy helps reduce swelling and minimizes discomfort, making recovery much easier for patients. With less pain and inflammation, they can get back to their normal activities sooner. By referring patients to Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, you’re ensuring they have a more comfortable and positive healing experience. Improved Tissue Regeneration PRP doesn’t just speed up healing—it improves the quality of tissue regeneration, too. Patients benefit from stronger bone integration and healthier gum tissue, which are essential for procedures like implants and bone grafts. Better tissue regeneration means better long-term outcomes and higher success rates for restorative treatments. Advanced Care for Optimal Results At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman uses PRP therapy to offer the most advanced care possible. This cutting-edge approach supports faster healing and promotes long-term oral health, ensuring patients receive exceptional treatment and excellent results.

A Personal Touch

My son had his wisdom teeth removed last month. Dr. Harriman called me personally to schedule the appointment and explained the procedure and what to expect before during and after. The staff was so friendly and answered all my questions and after care. They called me that evening to check on him and a few days after. He did not have stitches so the site looked odd this was about 2 weeks after this was on a Friday I called the office and Dr. Harriman called me back right away. I sent him pictures and it was normal. But he offered to see him Saturday morning on his day off. I wasn't worried and everything turned out fine. I am so grateful for the kindness and attentiveness of the doctors and office staff at this office. I highly recommend them.

Where to Begin?

I don’t even know where to begin. I was referred here to get some extensive dental procedures done, and I have never felt more comfortable and well taken care of anywhere else. Dr. Harriman is extremely kind and caring. He is incredible at what he does! I have very high anxiety and he has always been so patient and supportive of what I needed. I truly cannot thank him and his staff for everything they have done for me. So thankful I was referred to him! Also big shout out to Shay one of the assistants there, she is also so incredibly kind and I also want to thank her for always being so helpful. She always makes me feel better when she is in the room with me! Thank you all so much!
