Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF )

Human blood is rich in leucocytes and growth factors that promote healing of surgical sites such as from extractions. Using PRF technology, the patient’s own blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to obtain a platelet rich fibrin which can be used in surgical sites to promote healing as well as to support bone and soft tissue growth. It can be used in place of utilizing membrane material derived from porcine.

Your Own Tooth – A Natural Bone Graft

Bone grafting is a common procedure used in dentistry for bone preservation, augmentation, as well as for tissue and bone contouring for the stability of prosthesis like dental implants.

When a tooth is extracted, it leaves an open tooth socket. When filled with a bone graft, the site is preserved and maintained, providing a matrix for your own bone to grow and replace it. Common bone graft materials are sourced from human cadaver (allografts), bovine (xenografts) and symthetic sources (alloplasts). A less common source are autografts, from “self”.

We have the technology to process your own extracted teeth into bone grafting material. Our teeth contain mineralized tissue and bioactive growth factors, providing for a quality graft material in addition to being safe and without risk of immune reactions or inadvertent transmission of disease.

I was excited to use my own tooth! I didn’t have to worry about my body rejecting or reacting to a foreign material. The procedure went well and it healed quickly. I hope more dentists would be open to new technologies.

Nano V™ for After Surgery Care

The Nano Vi™ produces the same biological signal your body makes to repair cellular damage brought on by free radicals and oxidative stress. Patients who have undergone surgical procedures enjoy the healthy benefits of using our Nano Vi™ device.

I have been so happy since becoming a patient at Ecologic Dentistry. Not only does Dr Carla and her staff take great care of my teeth, she has also helped me with my overall health. I am a believer that we must help our body heal itself. I am so fortunate that I saw the NanoVi in Dr Carla’s office. After an informative conversation with her regarding the NanoVi – I did some research myself. It didn’t take me long to reach out to the company and buy my own NanoVi and I couldn’t be happier.

The main reason I bought it was for my overall general health improvement but also because I suffer from a worsening condition of Glaucoma. Although only time will tell if my NanoVi works for my glaucoma – I am convinced it has made me healthier.

Every day I do a 60-minute session, usually when I start my day. Other times I do a 2 nd session after I exercise or in the evening. The NanoVi helps me recover faster from exercise and just gives me a better, healthier sense of wellbeing. I am sure that taking some time just to relax while I do my session is helpful as well, since slowing down is generally not for me!! It is very relaxing and energizing all at the same time.

Sometimes it is hard to notice any improvement with health when you make changes, but I have definitely noticed improvements since using my NanoVi. And when I miss a day, I notice even more. Almost like an addiction, I make time for my daily session and truly miss it when it is not possible. For me, it is one of the best health changes I have ever done. I love my NanoVi!!!
