Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment made from a small sample of the patient's own blood and used to support natural healing after oral surgery. At his Newport Beach oral surgery practice, Dr. Nader Salib incorporates PRF — and, when appropriate, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — with procedures such as wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts and full-arch dental implant treatment.

Rich in platelets, fibrin and naturally occurring growth factors, PRF forms a concentrated healing matrix that may support blood-clot stability, soft-tissue repair, bone regeneration and postoperative recovery. Patients throughout Newport Beach and Orange County can benefit from Dr. Salib's experience with PRF dentistry, regenerative oral surgery and advanced dental implant techniques as part of a personalized surgical treatment plan.

How PRP Helps

Less pain and inflammation
Growth factors in the site can reduce the inflammatory response that drives most post-op pain.
Faster healing
Concentrated platelets shorten the period of soft food, avoided exercise and working around the surgery.
Better bone & tissue regeneration
Supports the quality of bone that forms where a graft or socket preservation is part of the plan.
Lower risk of dry socket
A more stable clot is the whole defence — PRP supports it in the sites most prone to it.
Safe — it is your own blood
No risk of rejection or disease transmission; the only extra is a single blood draw.
Best for the tough cases
Lower wisdom teeth, grafting, implants and full-arch cases, and slower healers.

How PRP Works

01
A small blood sample is drawn, like a routine blood test.
02
It is spun in a centrifuge in our office, separating the platelet-rich layer.
03
The concentrate is placed directly into the surgical site.
04
Your own growth factors go to work on the healing tissue.
05
The whole process adds only a few minutes to your appointment.

A Natural, Cost-Effective Approach to Healing

Platelet concentrate prepared from a small blood sample in the office for PRF and PRP therapy

PRF and PRP work with your body rather than adding anything foreign to it. By concentrating the platelets and growth factors already in your blood and placing them where you heal, Dr. Salib supports faster, more stable recovery — often with less swelling, fewer complications and a lower risk of dry socket after extractions and wisdom teeth removal.

It is a small, optional addition to your procedure, and most patients find the smoother recovery well worth it. The cost is itemized up front on your written plan, and flexible financing through CareCredit and no-interest monthly plans keeps regenerative care within reach — so you can choose it for your healing, not be surprised by it on a bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma — a concentrate of the healing platelets in your own blood, prepared in-office and placed into the surgical site to support faster, more comfortable healing.
Is PRP the same as PRF (platelet-rich fibrin)?
They are close cousins. Both concentrate your own platelets; PRF forms a fibrin matrix without additives and releases its growth factors more slowly. Dr. Salib uses the form that suits your case, and often both together.
How much blood is drawn?
Only a small sample — a few tubes from your arm, much like a routine blood test. It is spun in our in-office centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and fibrin, which are then placed into the surgical site during the same visit.
Does it hurt?
The only extra is a single blood draw, taken while you are already numb or sedated, so most patients barely notice it. There is no added recovery — if anything, healing tends to be more comfortable.
How much time does it add to my appointment?
Just a few minutes. The blood draw and spin happen while you are being prepared for surgery, so the concentrate is usually ready by the time it is needed and adds little to no extra time to your visit.
How soon will I notice the benefits?
The effect is on healing rather than something you feel right away. Many patients notice less swelling and discomfort over the first few days and a smoother early recovery; the deeper benefits — more stable clotting and better soft-tissue and bone repair — build over the following weeks.
How long do the results last?
PRF and PRP do their work during the healing phase, supporting the tissue and bone that form after surgery. Once healing is complete that improved foundation is permanent — the concentrate is used up in the process, so there is nothing to wear off or maintain.
Can anyone have PRP?
Most people can. Patients with certain blood disorders or on particular medications may not be suitable, which is assessed with the rest of your medical history at your consultation.
