Implant Maintenance

L-PRF therapy

L-PRF healing support for implant and grafting visits.

L-PRF stands for leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin. During selected surgical visits, a small amount of the patient's blood can be drawn and spun in a centrifuge to create a fibrin membrane or plug that contains platelets, white blood cells, and growth-factor-rich fibrin.

Dental Arts may discuss L-PRF when it could support natural healing around extraction sockets, bone grafts, sinus lift sites, ridge augmentation, and implant-related procedures.

Where It May Fit

• Socket preservation after tooth extraction.
• Bone grafting or ridge augmentation before implant placement.
• Sinus lift healing support when the diagnosis fits.
• Immediate implant or implant surgery sites where soft-tissue support matters.
• Patients who want to understand biologic healing options before surgery.

Fotona Laser Dentistry Applications

Fotona dental laser workflows may support multiple areas of care when the diagnosis fits: periodontal therapy, peri-implant tissue support, oral surgery, soft-tissue contouring, frenectomy, lesion care, TMJ comfort workflows, NightLase, and SWEEPS-assisted endodontic irrigation.

Laser care is planned around the tooth, gum, implant, airway, or soft-tissue goal. It is not a one-size-fits-all procedure.

Patient-Focused Uses

• Gum inflammation and periodontal maintenance support.
• Soft-tissue procedures such as frenectomy or gingivectomy.
• Implant maintenance and peri-implant tissue concerns.
• Comfort-focused laser workflows for selected TMJ, airway, or healing needs.

Who This Helps

Patients usually start here when they have one missing tooth, several missing teeth, loose dentures, failing bridges, peri-implant gum concerns, or a treatment plan that needs a second look.

• Patients comparing treatment options and timing.
• Patients who want a clear diagnosis before making a decision.
• Patients looking for modern dental technology in Cary, NC.

Technology Used

• CBCT 3D imaging
• Digital treatment planning
• Surgical guide planning
• 3D printed models

Technology is selected only when it improves diagnosis, planning, precision, patient education, or comfort.
