There are few things in life that give us more confidence than a dazzling smile. Having a great grin boosts our morale, making us feel positive, and drawing others to us as we show off our smile. However, many people have stayed away from traditional dentistry techniques, concerned about the length of time it may take to heal after cosmetic dental work, or the pain involved with getting treatment.

Now, all this is a thing of the past, as medical advancements and dentistry have fused techniques to come up with a revolutionary new way of encouraging prompt recovery from dental work. PGRF is transforming more than just smiles – it’s the application of a cutting-edge methodology for using the body’s own capacity to heal, accelerating the recovery process dramatically.

What is PGRF?

PGRF (or Pancreatic Growth Hormone Releasing Factor) is a new technique for use in surgery. It is designed to promote the body’s own natural healing hormones, transforming the recovery of patients undergoing procedures by encouraging the body to enhance its own potential for healing. Known as ‘autologous engineering’, it is being taken up by leading dental practitioners as the benefits of the technology are becoming widespread. The technology uses growth factors to improve the regenerative capabilities of the patient, applying the technique at the site of surgery to greatly enhance the recovery time and alleviate discomfort normally associated with dental work.

PGRF was developed by the Biotechnology Institute and launched as a radical new facial rejuvenation technique. It works by plasma-rich growth factors being taken from the patient prior to surgery being performed, and then modified and reapplied to encourage the natural healing process to take place. Non-invasive, comfortable and safe, PGRF has transformed traditional dentistry.

Who benefits from this new technology?

PGRF is suitable for anyone who undergoes oral surgery. It supports the body to use your own natural healing processes, enhancing the recovery by reducing the time taken to heal completely – giving you a head start to getting the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. The technique has already been used by celebrities and professional sportspeople including Rafael Nadal and Tiger Woods, enabling them to reduce their recovery time and get back out there at the peak of their performance. The National Football League, Major League Baseball, and the World Anti-Doping Agency have all hailed PGRF as a revolutionary new treatment for recovery from surgery. The technique is ideal for maxilla-facial surgery, dental implants, and other oral procedures.

By enhancing the smoothness, thickness, health and hydration of the patient’s skin through a natural process, PGRF is an outstanding new technique to benefit people undergoing cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery, by promoting the skill of the body to heal and alleviate discomfort.
