What Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge treatment used in dental care to promote faster healing and improve outcomes after oral surgery. At Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Drs. Sexton, Weiskopf, and Russ utilize PRF in procedures such as tooth extractions, dental implant placements, and bone grafting. PRF is derived from the patient's own blood and contains a high concentration of growth factors that enhance tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process. By incorporating PRF into their treatments, our team can provide our patients with an enhanced experience, quicker recovery times, and more successful surgical outcomes. For more information on PRF, contact our practice in Memphis, TN.
How Does Platelet-Rich Fibrin Work?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) works by harnessing the natural healing properties of the patient's own blood to enhance recovery after dental procedures. During your dental procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and fibrin, which are rich in growth factors. This PRF is then applied to the surgical site, where it promotes tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the healing process.
What Are the Benefits of Platelet-Rich Fibrin?
PRF offers several benefits that enhance healing and improve outcomes in dental procedures, including:
- Accelerates tissue regeneration and healing
- Reduces inflammation at the surgical site
- Improves the success rate of procedures like implants and grafts
- Uses the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions
- Enhances overall recovery time and comfort
Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Reviews
Dr. Weiskopf is a great surgeon and a very kind person. I had a molar extraction. He did a fantastic job. He knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone for his expertise. In addition, his entire office staff is excellent, kind, patient, helpful. It makes the whole experience very pleasant, takes away the stress. Thank you, Dr. Weiskopf.
Dr. Weiskopf removed my wisdom teeth and 1 additional molar yesterday. I have horrible experiences with dentists over the past 40+years! This man is amazing. His team is incredible and truly 1 of a kind. I will forever be grateful for their kindness, professionalism and painless care.
Five star service from the beginning of my relationship to the present time. Staff alone are five stars. I have never seen a friendlier or kinder staff. Dr Weiskopf is super wonderful; friendly, informative and open to any and all questions. Being a professor at the University of Tennessee dental college, is an added bonus for his patients. He can give a mini CE on whatever dental topic you are interested in seeking information. Can you tell that I am thrilled to have found such a great oral surgeon? And I am a picky person.

I would recommend Dr. Weiskopf to anyone who needs an experienced oral surgeon with great bedside manner and follow up. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and it was such a pleasant experience. I was terrified but the doctor and staff gave me a great sense of ease. The office was very clean and the location was perfect. 10/10.
Very kind and professional. Easy to work with. Very positive experience.
