🌟 Healing Naturally with PRF 🌟
At Pikes Peak Oral Surgery, we’re always looking for ways to help our patients heal faster and more comfortably. That’s why we use PRF – Platelet-Rich Fibrin – during many surgical procedures.
🔹 What is PRF?
PRF is created from a small sample of your own blood, spun in a centrifuge to separate out a concentrated layer full of platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors.
🔹 Why is it helpful?
These natural healing components are then placed at your surgical site, where they:
✨ Boost healing
✨ Reduce swelling and discomfort
✨ Lower risk of complications
✨ Promote stronger bone and tissue regeneration
🔹 Where do we use it?
PRF is especially helpful in procedures like dental implants, extractions, and bone grafting.
By using your body’s own resources, we’re making healing faster, smoother, and more predictable—for a smile that recovers beautifully. 💙

🦷 What’s the Deal with Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
If your wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to grow in, they can become impacted—trapped beneath the gums or pushing against other teeth. This can lead to pain, swelling, infections, and even damage to surrounding teeth. That means-- it's time to break up-- gently!
At Pikes Peak Oral Surgery, we specialize in diagnosing and safely removing impacted wisdom teeth before they cause bigger problems. Whether it's a routine removal or a more complex impaction, you're in skilled hands.
🗓️ Summer is a great time to take care of wisdom teeth! Healing time, less interruption to school schedules, and peace of mind before fall.
📞 Call us today to schedule a consultation—your future self (and your jaw) will thank you! 719-264-6070
