(PRP) Platelet Rich Plasma

Accelerating the healing process.

What is PRP?

Frequently used in hospitals to accelerate the body’s healing process after surgeries, platelet rich plasma is a blood byproduct that encourages clotting and healing. Advances in technology have recently allowed the use of PRP in dental offices. This is a safe and convenient option that uses plasma drawn from your blood to assist in the healing process.

How and Why We Use PRP

Platelet rich plasma has been shown to improve healing for both hard and soft tissue. In our practice, we utilize PRP for numerous surgical procedures including; tooth extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation. Research has found that PRP can accelerate healing times, which lowers the risk of complications and improves outcomes. This procedure is both safe and convenient, as it uses a small amount of your blood which is collected in our office.

What is PRP?

First, our SE Portland dentist will determine if you are a candidate for PRP. At your appointment, a small sample of blood will be collected. We then separate the plasma from the rest of the blood and concentrate the platelets into PRP. Once prepared, this beneficial tool will be used to benefit your surgical procedure.

Hear Why Portland Chooses Mint Dental

I wanted to tell you about my experience with Mint Dental. Setting up my appointment was very easy, and I liked the many reminders I received before my visit. The whole staff was skilled and gave me great service, which made me feel at ease while I was there. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could even purchase an electric toothbrush during my last appointment. Overall, I had a great experience at Mint Dental and would suggest them to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly dental office. – Trevor G.

I love Mint so much! I normally hate the dentist in all aspects and have extreme anxiety about going. But here the whole staff makes you feel relaxed and I never feel judged. They give you a nice neck pillow and of you need to have work done you get to watch Netflix with headphones so you can’t hear the drills. Hildy is the best hygienist I have ever had. I highly recommend her (but they are all great!). I also just met the new doctor, Dr. King who was wonderful. I also love that they are locally owned and not corporate. You won’t regret going to Mint! – Stephanie G.
