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.
As I get older I get nervous about procedures but once in the chair everyone from checking my blood pressure, oxygen etc. showed upmost professionalism! Dr. Bannon was amazing from start to finish. He kept assuring me how well I was doing. He got my implant out without any issues. The best part Dr. Bannon called me early evening to see how I was going and answered the questions I had post op! I highly recommend him. He is a winner in my eyes or in my mouth, haha 😉!
On August 28,2025 I had a tooth pulled in the office of Koslin and Kahn by Dr. Bannon. I arrived at 7:30 and was in my car by 8:20. I was put to sleep to have the procedure done. The staff was courteous and informative. I received a call from Dr. Bannon later in the Eve to check on me. I highly recommend this practice! Thanks to the staff for taking good care of me!
Getting dental surgery was a lot less scary than I thought it would be. The dentist and the whole team were so kind and professional. They explained everything clearly, which really helped calm my nerves. The procedure itself was quick and painless, thanks to the local anesthetic. Afterward, they gave me simple instructions for recovery, and I was back to my normal routine in no time. I'm really grateful for their expertise and care; it was a truly positive experience.
Koslin & Kahn got me in so fast and Dr. Denson was wonderful. He was kind, calming, and eased my anxiety about my procedure.

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.
