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
I had an amazing experience. The office staff could give lessons on customer service. The entire office is spotless, and Courtney, the nurse in the back was phenomenal! 1st IV I’ve EVER had that didn’t hurt! Actually 1st one that I didn’t have to get poked multiple times!! 5stars and 2👍👍 from us! Woke up the next morning with minimal pain, feeling so much better. Dr Lewis has been a blessing for us
Very nice and friendly atmosphere 👌
Dr Lewis did a wonderful job. Diagnosed and surgically removed with no side effects. I am elderly and as uncertain how well I would do. I could not be more pleased
Best experience possible
Getting your teeth worked on is never cheap, so chose one the best Dr Lewis. I pulled 29 teeth at one time, then scraped bone around gums so my new teeth will fit well. Never had any pain thru out whole process . Proper healing between steps , it took 10 weeks oh almost forgot I got a 500.00 discount on scrapping bone , which I had a lot of . If you want a good job done the first time I highly recommend Dr Lewis in mcomb ms .
