What is Platelet-Rich Plasma and How Can It Help the Healing Process?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of plasma proteins derived from your blood. We centrifuge your blood and remove red blood cells, which results in a high concentration of platelets. The platelets contain growth factors that encourage a brisk healing response. The use of platelet-rich plasma at a concentration above baseline has been shown to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. PRP is used routinely in hospitals. We are using PRP for new treatments to regenerate bone or soft tissue you may have lost from disease or trauma.

Sedation

Dentistry While You Sleep!

Conscious sedation techniques such as nitrous oxide and intravenous (IV) sedation are often used for long dental appointments such as those necessary for some periodontal procedures. They also help to relax those individuals who may be apprehensive about dental treatment. The medications used for your sedation will not put you to sleep, but will only make you relaxed and give you a feeling of well being. Vital to the success of conscious sedation, and to your safety and comfort, is your cooperation in following a few simple instructions prior to and following your dental appointment.
