What is Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dentistry?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration after dental procedures. Dr. Eric Lewis incorporates PRP therapy at Southwest Center for Oral Surgery to enhance recovery following surgeries like dental implants or tooth extractions. By using the body's own healing properties, PRP can help speed up recovery times, minimize discomfort, and reduce the risk of complications. This therapy is especially helpful in improving tissue regeneration and ensuring that patients heal more effectively after their dental treatments.

How is Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment Performed?
PRP treatments begin with drawing a small sample of the patient's blood. The blood is then processed to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors that aid in healing. Once the platelets are separated, Dr. Lewis injects the PRP into the area of treatment, such as after dental implants or extractions. This application of concentrated platelets helps to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing. The procedure is minimally invasive and is typically well-tolerated, with patients experiencing quicker recovery times and less discomfort.
What Are the Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dentistry?
PRP therapy in dentistry offers numerous benefits that speed up healing and improve treatment outcomes. These advantages include:
- Faster recovery after dental surgeries
- Reduced inflammation and discomfort
- Improved natural tissue regeneration
- Decreased risk of infection
- Safe and biocompatible, using the patient's own blood
Southwest Center for Oral Surgery Reviews
Dr. Lewis is great. He’s got a great bedside manner and his nursing staff is top notch. The ladies up front have all been great to deal with too. Although I’m only about 1/2 through the implant process, I would highly recommend Dr. Lewis.
Dr. Lewis is an excellent doctor that really cares about his patients. I had an implant with zero pain. His staff are professional and friendly and always helpful.
Professional and courtesy
Dr. Eric Lewis and his medical team are top of the line in my personal and professional opinion. I am a RN by trade, and we tend to be super judgemental on Healthcare. So, when I say that they are courteous, professional, caring, skilled, and provide the best patient experience possible, you can trust it!!! Many thanks to this valuable team!!!!!
I’m very pleased if I need surgery again I will certainly come back again
