What are some of the new things your business is doing? What are you most proud to tell customers, and why? Something new that we are incorporating into our surgical procedures is the use of platelet therapy created from your own blood, known as Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF). L-PRF changes the rules as it promotes healing and bone growth from within your own body. Platelets and other key blood cells with their unique healing abilities are introduced to the site of your surgical procedure resulting in significantly less recovery time and virtually eliminate dry-sockets. We are most proud of our long-standing history in the Austin community. We have been serving the Austin community for almost 75 years and we are extremely proud that over half of our employees have been with us for multiple decades.
