Chapter 7: The PRF/PRP Factor

The Ultimate Biohack: Using Your Own Blood to Help Healing

When it comes to healing, the most powerful tools are often already inside you. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) are concentrated parts of your own blood that we can place directly into surgical sites to support bone and soft tissue repair.

Executive Summary: PRF/PRP is made by taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a special centrifuge to separate out the layer rich in platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin. This “liquid gold” layer is full of natural growth factors. When we place it into an extraction socket, implant site, cavitation area, or gum graft, it can help your body organize the healing process more efficiently and predictably.

The Science of “Liquid Gold” in Plain Language

Your blood is not just red cells. It also contains platelets and white blood cells that play key roles in clotting, defense, and repair. When we spin a small blood sample in a centrifuge, the heavier red cells sink to the bottom and the lighter plasma rises to the top. In between is a layer that is especially rich in:

• Platelets (which release growth factors)
• White blood cells (which help coordinate immune responses)
• Fibrin (which forms a natural scaffolding for new tissue)

That middle layer is what we call PRF or PRP, depending on how it is processed. It acts like a concentrated dose of your body’s own healing signals. When we place it into a surgical site, we are essentially telling your body, “Focus your healing energy right here.”

How We Use PRF/PRP at Smile Magic

At Smile Magic, PRF/PRP is a standard part of many of our biological protocols. It is not a gimmick add‑on; it is a tool we rely on to help your body do what it already wants to do—heal well.

Zirconia Implants

• We can coat the surface of a zirconia implant with PRF/PRP and place additional PRF in the bone around it.
• This helps bring growth factors right to the bone–implant interface, supporting strong and predictable integration.
• The goal is a more stable foundation for your final crown.

Cavitation Surgery

• After removing unhealthy bone and disinfecting the area with ozone, we fill the cleaned cavity with PRF.
• PRF acts as a natural scaffold that is packed with growth factors, helping your body rebuild solid, living bone where the hollow space used to be.
• This supports more complete regeneration and helps reduce the chance of the cavitation returning.

Wisdom Tooth and Other Extractions

• Once an extraction site is cleaned and flushed (often with ozone), we can place PRF directly into the socket.
• This can help stabilize the blood clot, support bone fill, and make the early phases of healing more comfortable.
• Many patients report less soreness and a smoother recovery when PRF is used.

Gum Grafting and Soft Tissue Work

• In gum grafting and other soft tissue procedures, PRF can be used to support faster, more organized tissue repair.
• The growth factors in PRF help signal your body to rebuild healthy, strong gum tissue.
• This can improve both comfort and the final aesthetic outcome.

What You Experience as a Patient

From your perspective, PRF/PRP feels like one extra, simple step in the procedure. We take a small blood sample, similar to a basic lab draw, before or during your visit. While we are working, the blood is spun in the centrifuge.

By the time we are ready to close the site, the PRF/PRP is prepared and ready to place. You will not feel it going in; it just becomes part of the material we use to fill and protect the area before suturing.

There is no foreign material involved. It is all coming from you and going back into you, in a more concentrated and focused way.

The Dream Outcome: Healing That Works With Your Biology

The goal of using PRF/PRP is simple: give your body the best possible starting conditions for healing. By concentrating your own growth factors and placing them exactly where we want new bone or tissue to grow, we are working with your biology instead of against it.

When combined with other biological tools such as ozone, zirconia implants, and careful surgical technique, PRF/PRP helps us create treatment plans that respect your body’s intelligence and support long term success.

What to Do Next

If you are planning implants, cavitation surgery, wisdom tooth removal, or gum procedures and want your healing to be supported as much as possible by your own biology, the next step is to see where PRF/PRP belongs in your plan.
