Do you struggle with pain in your jaw or neck including tenderness, difficulty chewing or a clicking sound when opening the mouth? We provide Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) for Temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ) in your jaw and neck.

What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) for TMJ Treatment?

Use your body’s own natural and powerful healing proteins to help treat Temporomandibular join pain (TMJ) in your jaw and neck. We use the latest injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) which is the second generation replacement for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for TMD issues. With a simple blood draw, a concentration of natural growth factors in your own blood can be used to stimulate and maximize your regenerative potential in areas where regeneration typically does not occur. PRF is simple, effective and 100% natural. The benefits include:

  • Less side effects when compared to other treatment options
  • Minimally invasive
  • Speeds up and promotes healing
  • Maximizes tissue regeneration
  • Minimizes recovery time
  • Reduces the change of infection
  • No chemical additives
  • 100% from your own tissues (no donor tissue needed)

HOW IT WORKS

Unlike other treatments, PRF is natural and can help achieve healing and regeneration rather than chronic maintenance with medications and splints.

FAQ’s

How long does the procedure last?
The entire process may take about 15 minutes. Overall, the spin cycles vary from 3 to 8 minutes, depending on the protocol utilized. Please ask your doctor if you have questions. 

Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is virtually painless and relies on a simple blood draw utilized in everyday blood labs. In fact, it has scientifically been shown that when PRF is added to regenerative procedures, a significant decrease in post-operative pain, change of infection, and complication rate are all decreased when PRF is utilized. 

How does Bio-PRF stimulate wound healing?
When tissues are required to heal, they need certain proteins and growth factors that stimulate healing. These are naturally found in the human body. The Bio-PRF method produces up to 6-8 times more platelets and leukocytes when compared to whole blood. That means more growth factors, more ways to fight infection, and reducing post-op pain naturally.
