Dental PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) in Valencia
What is platelet-rich plasma, and how is it used in dentistry?
The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) It is an autologous biological concentrate (derived from the patient’s own blood) that is notable for its extremely high concentration of platelets. These cells contain key proteins and growth factors that the body naturally uses to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.
In the field of dentistry, the use of this biotechnology has revolutionized the way we approach oral surgery at our clinic in Valencia. By applying PRP directly to the treated area, we achieve very significant clinical benefits:
Accelerated healing
It promotes rapid regeneration of the gums and soft tissues following surgery.
Accelerated bone regeneration
It helps the jawbone heal and integrate optimally with dental implants (osseointegration), minimizing the risk of rejection.
Reduction of pain and inflammation
Thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory properties, the patient experiences a much more comfortable postoperative period, with less swelling and a reduced need for pain medication.
A 100% safe and biocompatible procedure
Since it is a compound derived from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reactions, transmitted infections, or biological rejection.
In which dental treatments is PRP used at Clínica Ilzarbe?
At our dental clinic in Valencia, the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is not just a generic add-on, but a well-established protocol in the field of advanced surgery and implantology. The team of surgeons at Clínica Ilzarbe applies this regenerative biotechnology in a personalized manner for treatments where the bone or gums require an extra biological stimulus to ensure complete healing.
Bone Regeneration and Dental Implants Using Platelet-Rich Plasma
The placement of dental implants in Valencia This is one of the procedures in which PRP delivers the most spectacular results. When a patient does not have sufficient bone mass to support the implant, we perform procedures such as bone regeneration (such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus elevation) supported by growth factors.
By mixing the bone graft with the platelet-rich plasma, we achieve:
- Accelerated osseointegration: The titanium implant integrates and “fuses” with the patient’s bone much more quickly.
- Higher success rate: We drastically reduce the risk of implant loss, even in patients with poor-quality bone or highly complex cases.
- Graft Consistency: The plasma binds the grafted bone particles together, making the surgeon’s work easier and ensuring a solid, stable foundation in less time.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is not just a generic add-on, but a well-established protocol in the field of advanced surgery and implantology. The team of surgeons at Clínica Ilzarbe applies this regenerative biotechnology in a personalized manner for treatments in which the bone or gums require an additional biological stimulus to ensure complete healing.
Postoperative Care and Accelerated Wound Healing in Surgery
Any surgical procedure in the mouth—from a complex extraction of wisdom teeth to periodontal surgery to treat periodontitis—benefits greatly from the direct application of growth factors.
At Ilzarbe Clinic, we use PRP after surgery to biologically seal the wound. By placing this platelet-rich membrane over the treated area, we achieve:
- Rapid closure of the gum: The soft tissue heals in record time, reducing the likelihood of bacteria or food particles entering the wound.
- Prevention of Postoperative Pain: Inflammation of the cheek and the discomfort typically experienced in the days following surgery are drastically reduced, allowing the patient to resume their daily routine almost immediately.
- Protection against infections: Plasma-rich blood has properties that help protect the area from external pathogens during the critical first few hours following the procedure.
How is the PRP procedure performed at Clínica Ilzarbe?
Initial PRP Procedure
At our dental clinics in Valencia, the PRP procedure is quick, safe, and personalized. It all begins with a small blood draw from the patient, performed at our facilities by the anesthesiologist (if the treatment requires conscious sedation) or by our specialized nurse.
PRP Technical Process
After extraction, the sample is processed in a state-of-the-art centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma. In just a few minutes, the PRP is ready to be applied to the treatment area, promoting tissue regeneration from the very beginning through a natural, effective process with no side effects.
Because it is a 100% biocompatible material derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of rejection or side effects is virtually nonexistent. It is a minimally invasive procedure that offers enormous benefits in postoperative care, regenerative surgery, and periodontal treatments.
- Placement of dental implants to improve integration with the bone.
- Bone regeneration in areas with bone loss or where bone grafts are needed.
- Complex extractions, such as impacted wisdom teeth or cysts.
- Treatments for gum disease with loss of attachment (periodontitis).
- Oral surgeries in which accelerated healing of soft tissues is required.
How much does dental PRP treatment cost in Valencia?
The cost of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment in Valencia varies depending on the complexity of the surgical procedure in which it will be used. Generally, at Clínica Ilzarbe, the use of growth factors is not billed as a standalone service but is instead integrated on a personalized basis into the treatment plan for oral surgery, periodontics, or implantology to ensure the success of the procedure.
To give you an idea, the final cost depends mainly on several clinical factors:
The main type of surgery
Applying PRP after the extraction of a wisdom tooth is not the same as using it to stabilize a complex bone graft or during the placement of multiple dental implants.
The amount of plasma needed
Depending on the size of the area to be regenerated, a different volume of blood samples will need to be processed.
Combination with sedation techniques
If the patient prefers to undergo the treatment under conscious sedation, the procedure is performed with the supervision of our anesthesiologist at the clinic.
We know that every mouth is unique. That’s why, at our clinic in Valencia (with over 40 years of experience caring for your dental health), we offer you a comprehensive initial clinical evaluation.
During this visit, our surgeons will evaluate your case using advanced diagnostic tests and provide you with a detailed, fixed-price estimate, along with financing options tailored to your needs if you require them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Platelet-Rich Plasma
Does dental PRP treatment hurt or involve any risks?
No, dental PRP treatment does not hurt and carries no risk of rejection or infection. Since it is an autologous material (derived from your own blood), it is 100% biocompatible, and your body recognizes it as its own. In addition, the extraction process is quick and clean, reducing pain and inflammation following your surgery.
At At Ilzarbe Clinic we go above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience possible:
- Painless extraction: The procedure takes just a couple of minutes and is performed using state-of-the-art, ultra-fine needles.
- Pain Prevention: Far from causing pain, PRP acts as a powerful natural anesthetic and anti-inflammatory agent that drastically reduces discomfort in the days following the procedure.
- Clinical Safety: The entire centrifugation and preparation process is carried out in a closed, sterile system at our facility in Valencia.
How long does it take for platelet-rich plasma to take effect?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) acts immediately, releasing cellular growth factors from the moment it is applied. During the first 24 to 48 hours, it dramatically accelerates gum healing. In the weeks that follow, it consistently stimulates the formation of new bone around the implants.
The biological healing process is divided into two phases:
– Soft tissue phase (1 to 7 days): You’ll notice that the gum closes and heals much faster than usual, reducing bleeding and the risk of wound infections.
– Bone phase (2 to 4 months): Growth factors accelerate bone mineralization. This is key in implant treatments, as it shortens the waiting time before permanent fixed teeth can be placed.
Can any patient receive platelet-rich plasma at the dentist's office?
Yes, the vast majority of patients are ideal candidates for dental PRP treatment because it is completely safe biologically. However, it is contraindicated in people with severe coagulation disorders, very low platelet counts, or certain active systemic conditions.
At our clinic in Valencia, we conduct rigorous monitoring to ensure the treatment’s success:
- Personalized Medical History: We assess your overall health during your first free visit to ensure that the treatment is safe for you.
- Safe Alternatives: If, due to a specific medical condition, you are not a candidate for PRP, the medical team at Clínica Ilzarbe will design an alternative healing and regeneration protocol tailored to your specific needs.
