Advanced Healing

The body’s own biological materials — proteins, platelets, and growth factors — play a direct role in how well and how quickly surgical sites heal. Using established protocols, Dr. John Darby and Dr. Timothy Johnson concentrate these growth factors from samples of the patient’s own blood and bone, then apply them at the surgical site to support the body’s natural regenerative response. For procedures involving bone grafting and dental implant placement, this approach promotes more predictable tissue regeneration, reduces post-operative complications, and shortens recovery time. The result is a more efficient treatment process and healthier healing outcomes for the patient.

Our Advanced Healing Services

We offer three regenerative protocols as part of our surgical treatments: platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), plasma rich growth factors (PRGF), and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). Each supports hard and soft tissue regeneration through a distinct mechanism. PRF and PRGF are both derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate growth factors. PRF produces a membrane-like material that is mixed into bone grafting material and placed directly at the treatment site. PRGF forms a concentrated clot of growth factors, which is typically placed at an extraction site to promote bone and tissue regeneration. BMP is a lab-synthesized replication of proteins that occur naturally in the body and govern new bone formation. Applied during bone grafting procedures, BMP accelerates bone regeneration and can shorten the healing period before implant placement — reducing overall treatment length without compromising outcomes.
