🎁🎄✨ A bittersweet celebration ✨🎄🎁
As we gathered for our holiday party, we also celebrated the incredible career of Dr. Fairchild as he prepares to retire at the end of this month.

⭐️What is PRF and why do we use it?⭐️

This yellow, gel-like layer you see is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) — created by spinning a small sample of the patient’s own blood in a centrifuge. During this process, the blood naturally separates, concentrating powerful healing components like platelets, growth factors, and fibrin into a thick membrane.

🩸➡️⚡️ The result?
A completely natural “biologic bandage” that we can place during procedures to:

✅ boost healing
✅ reduce inflammation
✅ improve tissue regeneration
✅ support bone growth
✅ enhance comfort and recovery

Because PRF is made entirely from the patient’s own blood, it’s biocompatible and highly effective in helping the body repair itself more quickly and efficiently.

Healing, elevated. 💛

🦴 Yes — we see patients of all kinds, including complex injuries like jaw fractures.

In the image above, you’re seeing an example of a mandibular fracture, one of the most common facial injuries treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. These fractures can happen from car accidents, sports injuries, falls, or trauma — and they require precise expertise to restore both function and facial symmetry.

Did you know?
• The mandible is the largest and strongest bone in the face, but it’s still highly vulnerable to impact.
• A fractured jaw often affects chewing, speaking, and alignment — making prompt evaluation essential.
• Oral & maxillofacial surgeons are uniquely trained to manage facial trauma, bone reconstruction, and corrective surgical care.

At Aspire Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we’re here for everything from everyday concerns to the unexpected. If you ever experience facial trauma or think you’ve injured your jaw, we can help!
