New Smiles Dental in Sherwood, Oregon, is leading the way in modern dentistry by integrating cutting-edge solutions that improve patient outcomes. One of the most exciting advancements is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)—a powerful, natural tool that enhances healing, reduces complications, and speeds recovery after oral surgery. Under the expert care of Dr. Nathan Doyel, the clinic has performed thousands of successful procedures using PRF, setting a new benchmark in implant and surgical dentistry.
What Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Why Does It Matter?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin is a biologic material made from your own blood. After a simple blood draw, the sample is spun to separate the healing elements—platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and growth factors. The resulting PRF matrix is then placed into the surgical site. It’s 100% natural, biocompatible, and free of synthetic or foreign substances. Because it comes from your own body, there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
PRF works by accelerating your body’s natural healing response. It improves blood flow, tissue regeneration, and bone formation—key elements for a successful recovery after extractions, implants, or grafting. It’s like giving your body a boost of its own best medicine, right where it’s needed most.
No More Dry Sockets and Faster Recovery Times
Dry sockets are one of the most painful complications after wisdom tooth extractions, occurring in roughly 30% of patients. But at New Smiles, Dr. Doyel has performed over 1,500 wisdom tooth cases using PRF with zero dry sockets. That’s a monumental achievement. The PRF acts as a biological bandage, protecting the site and stimulating rapid healing from day one.
Patients typically experience healing in just five to seven days, compared to the standard two weeks without PRF. The result? Less swelling, less discomfort, and a quicker return to everyday life. It’s a huge quality-of-life improvement for patients of all ages, especially teens and young adults undergoing wisdom tooth removal.
Beyond Extractions: The Many Uses of PRF
While PRF shines in wisdom tooth surgeries, its benefits extend far beyond. Dr. Doyel uses PRF for:
Dental implants and bone grafts – PRF supports faster integration and stronger healing.
Tissue grafts and gum surgery – Since PRF is a precursor to collagen, it plays a key role in tissue regeneration.
Facial aesthetics – PRF can even be used in cosmetic treatments to boost collagen and rejuvenate skin.
Its versatility makes it an invaluable tool not only in dentistry but also in broader medical and aesthetic applications. And since it’s your body’s own material, it’s one of the safest, most effective options available.
Why Timing Matters for Wisdom Teeth—and How to Get Started
Many delay wisdom tooth removal until they’re in college or older. But this delay can cause complications like impacted teeth, nerve involvement, or damage to nearby molars. Dr. Doyel emphasizes the importance of early evaluation—ideally between ages 13 and 18—when the roots are less developed, and the procedure is safer and easier.
With the addition of PRF, even early removal becomes smoother. Patients recover faster, experience fewer complications, and benefit from a procedure that aligns with the body’s own healing rhythm.
