What is Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dentistry?
PRP in dentistry uses a patient's own concentrated platelets to speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we provide advanced treatments to help you recover quickly and restore your oral health. Contact us in Hoover, Jasper, or Clanton, AL today to learn more about how PRP can benefit your treatment.
How is Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment Performed?
PRP treatment starts with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. The sample is then placed in a centrifuge, where it spins rapidly to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood. The resulting platelet-rich plasma, packed with growth factors, is collected and prepared for use. In dental procedures, PRP is applied directly to surgical sites or areas in need of repair, helping to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration.
What Are the Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dentistry?
PRP therapy in dentistry provides several advantages that accelerate healing and improve overall treatment results. These benefits include:
- Faster recovery following surgical procedures
- Reduced inflammation and discomfort
- Enhanced natural tissue regeneration
- Lowered risk of infection
- Safe and biocompatible, using the patient's own blood
Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery Reviews
Great experience all around from the front office to the surgeon & his staff. Pleasant conversation, professional, kind & funny even while extracting my tooth. Highly recommend Dr. Bannon & his staff.
Dr. Bannon is an excellent doctor and would highly recommend. He is attentive and caring and takes time to answer all your questions. He did an excellent job on my wisdom tooth extraction.
I was referred to Koslin & Kahn to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and of course, I was scared. I had Dr. Bannon and the experience was out of this world. I didn't hurt after my appointment even days later I still wasn’t in any pain. All the nurses were very kind and made sure I was in and out. My appointment was at 10:00am I left at 10:40. The procedure was very fast. I was fully sedated and even after my appointment, I was able to walk normally and go to stores just fine. The swelling went down in like a couple of hours. My experience was so great and I believe the doctors played a tremendous role in my recovery!
Dr. Koslin and staff are great! Took care of both my boys. I recommend them without any reservations.
Dr Koslin and staff were awesome. Service was so fast and quick and painless. I was nervous about nothing. Thank you guys for a great experience. If I need anymore work done I will return. Again thank you so much.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP the same as stem cell therapy?
PRP and stem cell therapy are not the same. PRP uses your own blood platelets to promote healing, whereas stem cell therapy involves different types of regenerative cells.
How often can PRP be used?
PRP can be used whenever needed during qualifying dental procedures, with no known limit when administered properly.
Is there a difference between PRP and PRF?
PRP and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are not the same. PRF is a newer preparation that forms a clot-like matrix and releases growth factors more gradually over time, whereas PRP is a well-established, fast-acting solution that delivers concentrated growth factors to the treatment site, helping accelerate tissue repair.
