PRP/PRF for Dental Procedures in San Diego, CA
Modern dentistry is about more than simply caring for your teeth and maintaining their aesthetic appearance and functionality. It’s also about ensuring that you heal properly after dental procedures and improving your overall experience. If you need to undergo surgery for a tooth extraction, dental implant, or bone graft, you may be looking for ways to recover faster and reduce discomfort after your procedure.
That’s where PRP and PRF come in. These innovative regenerative therapies employ your body’s own healing properties to support healthy tissue repair and promote better results. At La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics in San Diego, CA, we use PRP/PRF to enhance dental procedures, helping our patients heal more comfortably and efficiently and enjoy optimal results.

How PRP/PRF for Dental Procedures Is Performed
The PRP/PRF process begins with a simple blood draw, similar to routine lab work. The sample is placed in a specialized centrifuge that spins the blood to separate its components. This process concentrates platelets and growth factors into a PRP or PRF layer.
Once prepared, the PRP or PRF is applied directly to the surgical site during your dental procedure. During implant or grafting, it may be mixed with bone graft material or placed over the area to enhance healing.
The entire preparation process is completed during your appointment, adding minimal time to your procedure.
Testimonials
Our patients LOVE us, and you will too!
“Dr. Kohani is where professional dentists go to further their craft, and he is a true artist. One thing I have learned is people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Well Dr. Kohani knows and cares more than any dentist I have been to.”
“I have gone to Dr. Kohani a few times now and have had nothing but great experiences. I was impressed with the friendly staff that is welcoming and organized. We all know these visits aren’t necessarily ones we look forward to, but Dr. Kohani makes this experience quite pleasant. He’s a very nice man and a phenomenal dentist.”
“Because Dr. Kohani is a professor of dentistry, he took the time to educate me about my options, what he was doing at the time, and the reasons why he was taking certain steps. He demystified the process and made me feel comfortable, both physically and mentally, about what he was doing at the time and what was coming. I recommend Dr. Kohani highly.”
What Is Recovery Like After PRP/PRF?
No recovery is required after the blood draw to prepare for the PRP and PRF treatments; it is just as easy as any blood draw. Recovery after dental procedures supported by PRP/PRF is typically more comfortable than healing without the treatments.
While your healing experience will vary based on factors such as the extent of your procedure and your individual healing abilities, many patients experience reduced swelling and faster soft tissue repair when PRP and PRF are used to support their dental procedures.

PRP/PRF FAQs
How much does PRP/PRF cost in San Diego?
The cost of a PRP/PRF-enhanced dental procedure in San Diego will vary based on several factors, including the specific treatment used and whether it is part of implant placement, bone grafting, or another oral surgery. Exact costs are tailored to your individual treatment plan, so Dr. Kohani will provide you with a detailed cost breakdown at your consultation.
Is the PRP/PRF process painful?
Because PRP/PRF therapies use your own blood, the only sensation beyond the dental procedure itself is the quick blood draw, similar to any routine blood test. Once the PRP/PRF treatment is applied during your dental surgery, it helps reduce inflammation and postoperative pain, often leading to a more comfortable overall recovery experience.
Are PRP/PRF treatments safe?
Because PRP/PRF is derived from your own blood, it is a natural, safe option free of synthetic additives. This makes it an excellent choice for patients who prefer biologically driven solutions that enhance healing while minimizing downtime and complications.
