Wisdom Tooth Extraction

How to speed up healing and prevent complications after wisdom tooth extraction?

Following instructions after tooth extraction is crucial for quick and problem-free healing.

Following post-extraction instructions is crucial for quick and problem-free healing. In addition to basic oral hygiene and limiting physical activity, we recommend avoiding unsuitable foods and applying cold compresses to the swollen area. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids.

Do you want to prevent complications and achieve up to 10 times faster healing? Come to The Clinic for wisdom tooth extraction. We apply PRF - plasma from your own blood - to the wound, which boosts your immunity and speeds up healing!

What is PRF and how does it speed up healing after wisdom tooth extraction?

This is a special "healing cocktail" of fibrin-rich platelets created from the patient's own blood. It is used in dental surgery, especially for wisdom tooth extractions and implantology. We create this "wound plug" during surgery, when the patient is under analgosedation or general anaesthesia.

We will take your blood in the same way as your GP would. The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates it into individual layers in a test tube.

Plasma mainly contains fibrin, platelets and growth factors. These substances obtained from your own blood significantly stimulate the healing potential of the wound and boost healing by 200%. It also acts as an antioxidant against inflammation. We place the A-PRF membrane or plug directly into the extraction wound or wrap it around the implant like a scarf.

What are the benefits of PRF?

  • Faster and easier healing.
  • Less sensitivity and pain after the procedure.
  • Reduced risk of infection.
  • Less post-operative swelling.
  • Lower risk of dry socket.
  • Supports blood flow to the wound.
  • Reduced risk of implant failure.
