What Is PRF Treatment?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a treatment designed to work with your body's natural healing process, helping you feel better sooner. At Coyne Oral Surgery, we use PRF in dental procedures like tooth extractions, dental implants, and bone grafting to support recovery. Dr. Cathleen Coyne carefully incorporates PRF into treatments, using a small sample of your blood to create a concentrated solution rich in growth factors that reduce swelling, repair tissue, and promote faster healing. If you're curious about how PRF can improve your recovery and get you smiling faster after oral surgery, contact our Franklin, TN, office to schedule a consultation.
How Do PRF Dental Treatments Work?
Platelet-rich fibrin at Coyne Oral Surgery is often incorporated into surgical plans to support healing and improve recovery. During your consultation, Dr. Coyne will talk more about what you can expect and whether you might benefit from PRF. Before your procedure begins, we'll draw a small sample of blood and process it to separate the platelets and fibrin, both of which contain growth factors. We'll then inject the PRF serum into the surgery site, where it should help reduce swelling, promote tissue repair, alleviate swelling, and speed up the healing process. Compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRF releases these healing factors more gradually, providing longer-lasting benefits.
What Are the Benefits of PRF Treatment?
We're excited to offer PRF at Coyne Oral Surgery because we're dedicated to helping you recover as quickly and comfortably as possible. By tapping into your body's natural healing abilities, PRF supports a smoother recovery with less discomfort. The benefits of this treatment include:
- Speeds up recovery by promoting natural healing
- Reduces swelling and discomfort after surgery
- Supports tissue repair for healthier and stronger results
- Provides extended healing benefits with gradual growth factor release
- Lowers the risk of complications by using your own blood
Am I A Candidate For PRF Treatment?
Most people who are healthy enough for oral surgery are good candidates for platelet-rich fibrin. During your consultation, Dr. Coyne will review your medical history and discuss your treatment goals to determine if PRF is right for you. It's a great option for patients undergoing tooth extractions, dental implant placement, or bone grafting who want to support natural healing and experience a smoother, faster recovery. Dr. Coyne will answer any questions you have and outline how PRF will be integrated into your specific surgical plan to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
He is a very gentle and kind dentist. I highly recommend this place.
I had a wonderful experience at Coyne Center. Four wisdom teeth extracted at 71 years old. High anxiety as I anticipated the appointment, but the staff made me feel at ease through the whole process. They're the best!
Amazing!! Highly recommend. Fantastic people.
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I have severe anxiety with any and all dentistry and I needed several teeth extracted in a hurry. They got me in within the week and talked me through the needed work and suggested several helpful tips. They worked with our insurance and limited funds. Ashley and Marlena were so kind, sweet, and helpful. Dr. Coyne was very kind as well, including helping with meds that the pharmacy "didn't get" after office hours but before the pharmacy closed. I will recommend them to everyone I can from now on.
I cannot thank Coyne Oral Surgery enough for the incredible care they provided my nephew! He was in agonizing pain from an infected tooth, and they managed to get him in for a same-day appointment, which was a total lifesaver.From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was different than most medical offices. In a world where everywhere feels "corporate" or focused on "upselling," this practice is a breath of fresh air. You can tell the staff truly cares about the patients, not just the bottom line.A special shout-out to Marlena and Layla—they were extra sweet, gentle, and incredibly helpful through the entire process, from check-in to post-surgery care. They made a stressful situation so much easier.If you want an office that treats you like a person and provides top-tier care, this is the place!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is PRF different from PRP, and why would my oral surgeon choose PRF for my procedure?
While both PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) use your blood’s natural growth factors to promote healing, PRF is processed without anticoagulants, creating a fibrin matrix that releases healing factors more gradually over time. This slow release supports longer-lasting benefits for tissue repair and regeneration. Dr. Coyne may choose PRF because it’s 100% natural, easy to incorporate during surgery, and offers excellent results in enhancing healing after extractions, implants, or bone grafts.
Will adding PRF to my procedure increase my recovery time or require extra appointments?
No. In fact, PRF actually works to reduce your recovery time by promoting faster tissue regeneration and minimizing inflammation. The PRF process is completed during your scheduled procedure, requiring only a quick blood draw before surgery, so no additional appointments are needed. Patients often find their recovery feels smoother and more comfortable when PRF is included.
Is PRF safe for everyone, and are there any risks to using it during oral surgery?
Because PRF is created from your own blood without any additives, it is extremely safe and carries virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. However, patients with certain blood clotting disorders or those on specific medications may not be candidates for PRF treatment. Dr. Coyne will review your medical history in detail to ensure it is a safe and beneficial option for your procedure.
