Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF)
Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) in Spokane, WA
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25.
At Timberline Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we use the latest regenerative technology to help our patients heal faster and more comfortably after oral surgery. One of the most effective advancements in healing is Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) — a completely natural treatment made from your own blood that promotes tissue repair, bone growth, and faster recovery.
Unlike synthetic or chemical additives, L-PRF is created directly from a small blood sample, concentrated using a specialized FDA-cleared system, and then placed at your surgical site. The result? Improved healing, reduced swelling, and a shorter recovery time — all powered by your body’s own natural growth factors.
What is L-PRF?
L-PRF stands for Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin. It’s a natural bioactive “band-aid” created from your own blood that works to:
- Release healing proteins and growth factors for up to 14 days after placement
- Form a natural scaffold that helps tissues regenerate
- Support bone growth and stability for dental implants and grafting procedures
- Reduce pain, swelling, and healing time
Because L-PRF is made from your own blood — with no chemicals, additives, or foreign materials — it is 100% natural, biocompatible, and safe.
Did You Know?
Healing naturally takes time, but when your body’s own platelets and growth factors are concentrated with L-PRF, recovery is significantly faster. This makes a big difference for patients undergoing procedures like tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, sinus augmentation, and ridge preservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is L-PRF made?
A small sample of your blood is collected — similar to a routine blood draw. The blood is then spun in a specialized centrifuge, creating a platelet-rich clot. This clot is shaped and placed into your surgical site, where it begins releasing healing proteins immediately.
Is the process painful?
Not at all. The blood draw feels no different than a standard lab test, and the preparation of L-PRF is quick and painless.
What conditions can L-PRF help treat?
L-PRF is widely used in oral surgery, especially for:
- Dental implant placement
- Bone grafting and bone regeneration
- Tooth extractions and socket preservation
- Sinus and ridge augmentation
- Healing of soft tissue or palatal defects
Are there risks or side effects?
Because L-PRF is made entirely from your own blood, there are no chemicals, additives, or donor materials involved. This means there is virtually no risk of rejection, allergy, or complication.
How does it improve recovery?
L-PRF accelerates healing by:
- Delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the surgical site
- Reducing post-surgical swelling and discomfort
- Encouraging faster tissue and bone regeneration
- Helping implants stabilize more quickly
