PRP for implant treatment
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. It may be offered alongside selected implant or grafting procedures.
Before
Bring previous implant records if you have them. Tell the team about any medicines, changes in your health or concerns about the site.
During
Ask which stage of the implant plan this visit covers, which alternatives apply and what the team needs to check before moving on.
After
Follow the instructions for your stage of care and confirm the timing of your next review.
FAQs
Does PRP guarantee better healing?

How it is prepared
The blood sample is spun to separate a platelet-rich portion. This preparation can then be applied to the surgical site or used with graft material.
Deciding whether to include it
PRP is an optional addition. Research findings vary, so ask what benefit is expected in your case, what remains uncertain and what it adds to the cost.
Your implant team will explain who carries out each stage, the alternatives and the follow-up you will need.
