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 Can I Expect After PRF Treatment?
Most patients experience a quicker and more comfortable recovery when PRF is used. The growth factors in PRF help to reduce post-operative pain and swelling, and you may notice faster healing of the surgical site. Dr. Coyne will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome. Following these instructions, along with the added boost from PRF, can help you get back to your normal routine sooner. If you have any questions during the recovery process, our team is always here to help.
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
Fantastic staff, wonderful surgeon, and great followup care
No one looks forward to going to the dentist and especially getting a tooth pulled. When I found out my insurance wouldn’t pay for me to be put out Dr. Coyne and her staff made this experience the best it could possibly be. Dr. Coyne’s nurse talked me through the process and eased my anxiety, and encouraged me that I could do it with just the Nitrous Oxygen and she would be right there to talk me through everything. She was very kind and compassionate, because I was very nervous about it. This saved me a lot of money out of pocket, I mean A LOT of money. I’m so glad she encouraged me because the whole procedure only lasted a few minutes and I didn’t feel any pain, plus I saved a ton of money because of her encouragement and I probably wouldn’t have even tried to do it without her encouraging me to. Dr. Coyne did a wonderful job and my recovery was very easy as well. Afterwards, they called to check in on me. You can tell they care about their patients at this practice. It was also easy to get an appointment and the office was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend them if you have any extractions or oral surgeries you need.
Had my wisdom teeth extracted with Dr. Coyne around a year ago today. They were impacted and she did a great job. My husband is now getting his extracted this week from her as well, and I know he and others will be in good hands if they choose her and her team. Her surgical assistant is top tier, talked with me prior to sedation due to my fears and severe dental anxiety. They were patient and so kind to me, you don’t find many places that treat and care for you more than just a patient in their office. 🦷 💜 Even after the procedure I asked for a picture with Dr. Coyne 🙂
Dr. Coyne and her staff are amazing. Took exceptional care of my daughter for her wisdom teeth. They explained everything from what to expect during and after and put her at ease for the procedure. Highly recommend Coyne Oral Surgery.
Everything was over the top.. from the interior decor to the smiles from the staff. I had a tooth extraction. It took no time. The assistant as well as the entire staff was super nice and comforting. I would definitely recommend Coyne Oral Surgery.

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.
