What Is Phlebotomy?

In dental implant treatment, phlebotomy is used to collect blood samples for procedures like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP involves drawing blood from the patient to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, which can enhance healing and promote tissue regeneration at the implant site.

This process is beneficial in improving the success rates of dental implants by facilitating faster recovery and reducing complications. By utilising the patient’s own biological material, phlebotomy supports a more effective and natural healing process, ultimately leading to better outcomes in dental implant procedures.
