Promoting Healing for a Faster Recovery

What Are Advanced Healing Techniques?

Your body naturally possesses certain proteins and molecules that aid in wound healing and tissue regeneration. Using cutting-edge techniques, we can concentrate these growth factors from samples of your own blood and bone to help stimulate the body’s own healing response at a surgical site. For treatments involving tissues, including bone grafting and dental implants, we can promote better healing, regenerate new tissues, and help you recover from surgery faster. Dr. John Darby and Dr. Timothy Johnson, our skilled periodontists, use advanced healing techniques in our dental surgical procedures. Our use of these growth factors in your treatments provide more predictable results and more efficient care, with more rapid and healthy healing. Overall, with advanced healing in Ocala and Crystal River, FL, treatment length for dental implants is significantly reduced, giving you a comfortable return to optimal health and function after surgery!

Our Advanced Healing Services

We offer platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), plasma rich growth factors (PRGF), and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) as part of our surgical treatments. Though derived differently, these three options all support and promote hard and soft tissue regeneration and aid in healing. Platelet-rich fibrin and plasma rich growth factors are both derived from a sample of your own blood. When spun in a centrifuge, the blood separates into layers, one of which is PRF, a membrane-like material full of growth factors that we mix into bone grafting material and place at the treatment site. PRGF is a clot of growth factors that develop when your blood sample is spun in a centrifuge. This clot is commonly placed in an extraction site to help promote bone and tissue regeneration. BMP is a lab-derived replication of the proteins found naturally in the body that aid in the growth of new bone. When used during bone grafting, BMP can help accelerate healing and regeneration of bone, shortening recovery time so dental implants can be placed sooner.

A big thank you to Dr. Darby. From the first step in the door to the last step out, every aspect of my visit with Dr Darby and staff was exceptional. The people at the front office were very professional, friendly and communicative. I had a vertical fracture that was quite painful. The first dentist I saw nearly sent me through the roof during the initial exam and made me terrified to consider treatment there. I then went to Dr. Darby and that pain free experience was like night and day. I also liked that Dr Darby was very thorough and spent time explaining the issues, discussing my options and making sure I felt completely comfortable. My husband and I spend most of the year in California but if I need any other dental procedure like the one I had, I'll be back in Ocala to see Dr. Darby.

A visit to the Periodontist should not be scary for anyone. People think the worst and since I was a patient of Dr. Johnson this year, I want everyone to know that going to a periodontist is not all that bad!. I had sedation gum surgery and felt NO pain. There were several follow up appointments and I have to say that from the first visit to the last, I felt like I was well taken care of. The staff is wonderful. The Periodontist was fantastic. I just can't believe that I had dental gum surgery and it never hurt. So, don't delay, call Dr Johnson and meet him and his staff. They will take good care of you!

I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Darby. He took a lot of time with me to discuss what he thought my problem was, what the possible treatment options would be and then did exactly what he said he would do. He and his staff were very kind and thoughtful and always made me feel comfortable. When I needed to contact Dr. Darby about a prescription, he took my call himself on a Saturday afternoon and called in the prescription I needed right away. The surgery went very well, and I did not experience any pain or problems due to the techniques he used. I have been "released" as of today, as he has done all that was needed, and did not push any unnecessary treatments on me. I will highly recommend him.

I was apprehensive about the bone grafting on my implant, but I can tell you Dr. Johnson and his staff were caring and answered all my questions. I am so glad I had this procedure done. Not to much pain and I healed up nicely Thanks Doc, you are the best

I recently had periodontal surgery at Dr. Johnson's office and was totally satisfied with the office and the staff. Dr. Johnson was kind and gentle, making the surgery a pleasant experience. I never felt any pain, even during the recovery process. His staff was professional, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend this office.

My husband has been Dr. Darby's patient for the past 16 years. He is very attentive, thorough and professional. The treatment he is undergoing is lengthy in time and technically challenging, yet we have been very happy every step of the way with his care. I would recommend Dr. Darby to any of my friends and family .

Dr Johnson did an extraction, bone graft and dental implant. The procedures were easy and I had no pain for any procedure. Dr. Johnson is an excellent dentist, very professional and I would highly recommend him for any periodontal treatment. Best oral care I have ever received.
