Dr. Bighiu is proud to offer her patients an exciting holistic approach to healing called PRF( Stem Cells) . In many dental surgical procedures such as tooth extractions and dental implants, stem cell treatments protect the site from infection, accelerate the healing process and decrease pain after the procedure. PRF is a 100% natural treatment , with no additive or preservatives, that facilitates fast and proper haling, lower infection risks , decrease chances of complication, and regenerate bone and tissue naturally. How does it work? First, we take a small amount of blood from you. Next, we place the blood into the PRF centrifuge machine, where it is separated out into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. As we are performing a tooth extraction or other procedure, we can add the fortified blood that contains the stem cells concentrate to promote healing in the dental site where it’s needed. The combination of platelets and growth factors have regenerative capabilities, healing hard and soft tissue more quickly, and help you recover faster after a tooth extraction.
For the treatment of Temporo-Mandibular Disorder ( TMD, TMJ) and for facial pain control, improving wound/ulceration healing and reducing inflammation after surgery, we use Laser Light Therapy , a safe, radiation free treatment that has been scientifically developed and clinically tested to decrease pain and heal at the cellular and tissue level. At Oakville North Dentistry, we use the professional BIOFLEX® Laser system, widely considered to be the industry gold standard, FDA, Health Canada approved. See www.bioflexlaser.com
