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.
I had an Apico procedure done on 6/26/25 by Dr. Koslin. He did a great job with my surgery! I would highly recommend him to anyone that need this kind of oral surgery done. His nurse was very polite and caring. Great experience!
In January I saw Dr. Kahn. He did an extraction of a broken tooth, and bone graph. Then in June Dr. Kahn placed my 2 implants.This is a great office. It has a steller staff and Fantastic Dr's.
I have such bad anxiety with dentists but everyone here made my experience so nice. I was so blessed to be in the hands of Dr. Kahn & his nurse Grace along with two other very sweet workers that I don’t remember their names. The place was very clean. I will say the receptionist at the front wasn’t too friendly but she wasn’t working on my teeth so oh well! If you need anything done teeth wise, this is place to come!
Great staff; great service!

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.
