Dental implants are one of your Capital District dentist specialties, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/dr-erin-page.html\"><span class=\"s2\">Dr. Erin Page<\/span><\/a> are pleased to announce that we have recently invested in an exciting new procedure that <\/span><span class=\"s3\">enhances the success of implant dentistry and accelerates the rate of healing: the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Healthy Bone Structure Promotes Dental Implant Success<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dental implants are titanium screws that take the place of your missing tooth\u2019s root.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The titanium implant gradually fuses to the jawbone through the process known as osseointegration. Even in healthy patients, osseointegration is slow going &#8212; it can take up to six months to complete, depending on the location of the dental implant.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Patients with certain health concerns can have contraindications to implants, surgery, and bone grafting \u2013 this is where PRP and PRF come in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">To speed up or encourage the integration and healing of implants and bone grafts, Dr. Page introduce the PRP and PRF treatments. With these advanced procedures, we can speed up the time-to-teeth for all of our patients, and increase the success of dental implants on higher risk patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">How PRP and PRF Improve Dental Implant Procedures<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Your blood platelets play a crucial role in your oral and overall health. They especially promote healing, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S221081571300036X\"><span class=\"s2\">reservoirs of the growth factors<\/span><\/a> that encourage regeneration in your bone tissue. When we can extract this plasma and fibrin that\u2019s full of platelets and then apply it directly to the area where we want healthy bone to grow, it\u2019s sort of magic &#8212; speeding up healing and reducing the treatment time for your dental implant procedure! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">PRP and PRF have been used for decades, but recent advancements in technology allow us to perform this treatment from the comfort of our office. That increase of efficiency reduces costs and improves the experience for everyone involved. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The PRP\/PRF Procedure for Enhanced Healing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We use your own blood to perform PRP\/PRF. First, we will draw a<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> small<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> amount, then centrifuge it, or spin it around in a special machine to extract the plasma and\/or fibrin. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Once we have the growth factors, we inject them from the blood back into your jawbone, directly to the spot where we want to encourage growth<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Schedule an Appointment Today! <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">When you choose the implant dentists that stay on top of the latest advances in technology and methods, you are benefitting from the very best care.
