If you’re planning for a dental implant, extraction, or bone graft, healing time and comfort matter. That’s why we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy — an advanced technique that uses your body’s own natural growth factors to speed healing, reduce inflammation, and improve surgical outcomes.
At Trenton B. Bottoms, DDS, we incorporate PRP therapy in Winston-Salem as part of our commitment to modern, minimally invasive care. Whether you're having a tooth extracted, undergoing bone grafting, or receiving a dental implant, PRP can support faster healing — naturally.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated portion of your own blood that is rich in platelets — cells that contain powerful healing and growth factors. These platelets promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance soft and hard tissue repair.
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge. This separates the platelets from other blood components. The PRP is then applied directly to the surgical site to support healing.
Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dentistry
- Accelerates healing after surgery or extraction
- Reduces swelling, bruising, and discomfort
- Supports stronger bone and soft tissue regeneration
- Improves implant success by enhancing bone integration
- Minimizes risk of infection or delayed healing

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP safe?
Yes. PRP is made from your own blood, so there is no risk of rejection, allergy, or cross-contamination.
Does PRP hurt?
Not at all. The process involves a quick blood draw, and the PRP is applied during your procedure. Most patients don't notice it happening.
How much faster does PRP make healing?
While results vary, many patients report less swelling and faster healing by several days — especially after extractions and grafting.
Is PRP covered by insurance?
Usually not, as it’s considered an elective enhancement. However, we offer flexible payment options and will include PRP in your treatment plan transparently.
Can I request PRP even if it’s not recommended?
Absolutely. We’re happy to discuss how PRP could benefit your recovery and include it in your care plan if appropriate.
