At El Dorado Hills Dental Wellness, we believe the most powerful medicine often comes from within. That’s why Dr. Rika and our skilled team offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy – a cutting-edge, natural regenerative treatment that uses the healing components in your own blood to accelerate recovery and support long-term oral health.
PRF is a second-generation platelet concentrate derived directly from a small sample of your own blood. Once drawn, the blood is placed into a special centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells. This mixture forms a powerful healing matrix, which we use during a variety of dental procedures to enhance tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation.
Unlike synthetic medications or artificial grafts, PRF is 100% natural – no additives, no chemicals, and no risk of allergic reaction.
PRF contains key components like:
Platelets – stimulate cell growth and repair
Fibrin – forms a supportive scaffold for new tissue to grow
White blood cells – reduce inflammation and support immune function
Growth factors – accelerate healing by signaling nearby cells to regenerate
This concentrated mix is applied directly to the surgical or treatment site to enhance the body’s natural healing process.
Tooth Extractions & Oral Surgeries: Reduces pain, speeds healing, and promotes better bone regeneration.
Dental Implants: Enhances osseointegration and reduces post-operative discomfort.
Gum Disease (Periodontal Treatment): Supports regeneration in deep periodontal pockets and encourages reattachment of gum tissue.
Bone Grafting or Sinus Lifts: Helps stabilize graft materials and improves the success rate of the procedure.
PRF is one of the safest and most biocompatible options available in regenerative medicine. Because it is made from your own blood, the risk of complications or infections is dramatically reduced. In addition, PRF helps:
Minimize swelling and post-operative discomfort
Improve blood flow and oxygen to damaged tissues
Shorten healing time
Encourage faster tissue and bone regeneration
As a forward-thinking provider in El Dorado Hills, Dr. Rika Prodhan integrates regenerative therapies like PRF into many of our surgical and periodontal treatments to improve comfort and outcomes for every patient. With a focus on long-term wellness, Dr. Rika and her team personalize each procedure to align with your unique needs and goals.
If you’re scheduled for oral surgery, dealing with gum disease, or preparing for implants, ask us if PRF therapy is right for you. We’re here to help your body heal faster, naturally.

Let nature do the healing — with a little help from science.
PRF is made from a small sample of your own blood. After it’s spun in a centrifuge, we extract the platelet-rich layer containing natural growth factors, fibrin, and white blood cells used to promote healing.
Yes. PRF is 100% autologous, meaning it comes from your own body. This makes it extremely safe with no risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission.
The entire PRF process—from drawing your blood to preparing the injectable material—typically takes under 15 minutes and is done right here in our office during your procedure.
PRF therapy is generally well tolerated. The blood draw is similar to what you’d experience in a routine lab test, and the application of PRF to the treatment site is gentle and painless.
Anyone undergoing oral surgery, dental implants, or treatment for gum disease may benefit from PRF therapy. It’s especially helpful for patients seeking natural, medication-free healing support.
Absolutely. PRF is often used alongside bone grafts, implants, and periodontal treatments to enhance healing and improve long-term results.
PRF is considered an elective regenerative procedure and is not typically covered by insurance. However, we’re happy to discuss costs upfront and offer flexible payment options.
