Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in Salida, CO
At Relaxation Dental, we utilize Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to accelerate healing, reduce recovery time, and enhance tissue regeneration after oral surgery.

PRP is a natural, drug-free treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to promote faster and more efficient recovery.
If you’re undergoing a tooth extraction, bone graft, dental implant, or gum surgery, PRP can significantly improve healing and reduce complications.
What Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
PRP is a concentrated form of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. Platelets play a crucial role in:
- Clot formation to control bleeding.
- Tissue regeneration for faster healing.
- Reducing inflammation & pain after surgical procedures.
By injecting PRP into the surgical site, we enhance the body’s natural ability to repair soft tissues and bone, making it an excellent addition to many oral surgery procedures.
How Is PRP Used in Dentistry?
We use PRP therapy to enhance healing in procedures such as:
1. Dental Implants & Bone Grafting
- Encourages faster bone integration for dental implants.
- Improves bone density and volume in bone grafting procedures.
2. Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Reduces post-extraction pain and swelling.
- Lowers the risk of dry socket by promoting clot formation.
3. Periodontal Surgery & Gum Grafting
- Aids in the repair of gum tissue and supports healthy regeneration.
- Improves results in gum grafting and crown lengthening procedures.
4. TMJ & Jaw Pain Treatment
- Used to stimulate soft tissue repair in patients with jaw joint pain or TMJ disorders.
5. Healing from Oral Trauma or Infections
- Accelerates healing in cases of oral surgery, injuries, or severe infections.
PRP can be beneficial for many oral surgery patients, particularly those looking for faster recovery times with reduced complications.
How Is PRP Therapy Performed?
PRP is a simple and minimally invasive procedure that takes just a few minutes:
Step 1: Blood Collection
- A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine lab test.
Step 2: Centrifugation
- The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Step 3: PRP Application
- The concentrated PRP is applied directly to the surgical site, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
Since PRP comes from your own blood, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.

- Decreases Infection Risk – Natural healing properties promote a healthier recovery.
- Enhances Bone & Soft Tissue Regeneration – Essential for dental implants and gum surgery.
- 100% Natural & Drug-Free – Uses your body’s own healing factors.
