Healing From Your Own Blood in St. Petersburg, Florida
LPRF bone grafting in
LPRF bone grafting in
St. Petersburg, FL.
LPRF turns a small blood draw into a healing scaffold. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD uses it across surgical care at Natural Smiles: extraction sockets, cavitation sites, and implant placements, all under the Swiss BioHealth protocol.
Why LPRF
Grafting the body recognizes.
Platelet-rich fibrin comes from your own blood, drawn the same visit and spun chairside. The site receives a biological scaffold instead of a foreign one, paired with ozone disinfection.

The Process
An LPRF case, step by step.
The LPRF layer attaches to whatever surgery the plan calls for, from a single socket to a sinus lift.
-
Plan first
The CBCT scan sets where grafting is needed and the written plan sequences it.
-
Chairside draw
A small blood draw at the visit start gets spun into platelet-rich fibrin.
-
Placement
After ozone disinfection, LPRF goes into the socket, cavitation site, or implant site.
-
Tracked healing
Imaging follows bone response, and the next phase schedules per the plan.
Inside the Office
Grafting inside a surgical office.
LPRF work happens where the surgery happens: imaging, ozone, and the lab within the same walls.

LPRF FAQ
Questions about LPRF grafting in St. Petersburg.
The questions patients ask most about grafting and platelet-rich fibrin.
Leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin: a healing scaffold spun from a small draw of your own blood, placed at surgical sites the same visit.
Wherever bone volume matters: after extractions, inside cavitation cleanouts, under sinus lifts, and around implant placements. The CBCT scan makes the call per site. About sinus lifts.
Per case. LPRF supports healing either way, and Dr. Litano sets the combination from the scan and the site.
