Platelet-Rich Plasma in Mobile, AL

At Mobile Oral and Facial Surgery, Dr. Christopher Mullenix and Dr. Aaron Wallender offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as an advanced healing technique in dental and oral surgery procedures. PRP in dentistry involves using a small amount of the patient's own blood to isolate concentrated platelets, which are rich in growth factors that promote faster healing and tissue regeneration. This treatment is especially beneficial after procedures like tooth extractions, dental implants, or bone grafts, helping to reduce inflammation, minimize discomfort, and accelerate recovery time. By enhancing the body's natural healing response, PRP can lead to improved outcomes and a smoother post-surgical experience. To learn how PRP may help you in particular, contact our Mobile, AL office to set up a consultation.

PRP treatment begins with a simple blood draw, typically from the patient's arm. The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. Once the PRP is prepared, it is carefully applied or injected directly into the surgical site — such as a tooth extraction socket or implant site — to stimulate healing. This concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors enhances the body's natural tissue repair processes, reduces inflammation, and supports quicker recovery. The procedure is safe, efficient, and performed during the same appointment as the oral surgery.

PRP offers numerous dental benefits by enhancing healing and improving surgical outcomes using the patient's own natural growth factors. Benefits include:

  • Accelerates tissue regeneration and wound healing
  • Reduces inflammation and discomfort after procedures
  • Minimizes the risk of infection
  • Enhances bone and soft tissue growth around implants
  • Decreases overall recovery time
  • Uses the patient's own blood, reducing risk of allergic reaction
  • Improves outcomes in bone grafting and tooth extractions
  • Supports faster integration of dental implants
