Another recent development in periodontal treatment is the use of the laser to regenerate bone. Performed without a scalpel and requiring no sutures, LANAP™ creates an environment for regeneration of the tissues around your teeth (gum, bone, cementum, ligament) that are lost due to periodontal disease.
We are a premier provider for 1Day Smile/All-on-4®. Our revolutionary technique using state-of-the-art technology will dramatically improve your quality of life by restoring confidence in your smile—all in just one visit!
Holistic dentistry looks at dental health as one part of an individual's overall health. Oral health and its connection to the central nervous system, heart, circulatory system, and immune system—among others—is considered.

At Farber Center you will be both heard, and empowered. We take the time to listen to you and answer any and all questions you may have.
Not all Periodontists are the same. We believe in the connection between your oral health and your general health and approach our treatments with your whole health in mind.
We are diligent in our efforts to provide the latest in dental technology. This means a better diagnosis, faster treatments with less pain, and a better recovery for you.
This is an FDA cleared treatment for periodontal disease and is backed by many scientific studies. The procedure is performed only by a select group of dental professionals around the United States.
The All-On-4® treatment concept clinical solution has been developed to simplify treatment for those suffering with poor oral health. The procedure maximizes the use of available bone while avoiding the sinus cavity, allowing for new functioning teeth the same day as the implant procedure.
If you are struggling with diseased teeth, or wear an unsightly partial or ill-fitting painful denture, you can now switch comfortably and conveniently to a fixed dental implant system that will improve your appearance, self-confidence, and lifestyle.
Dr. Farber is a member of The American Academy For Oral Systemic Health, an organization of health care leaders and health professionals dedicated to the relationship of oral health to whole body health.
Emerging science confirms that chronic low-grade infections in the mouth elevate systemic inflammation and has an impact on all body systems. The mouth is further linked with the rest of the body when considering the impact of oral airway and sleep apnea, TMD and headaches, dental caries infections, and oral cancer. The significance of these numerous mouth-body and oral-systemic connections highlight the importance of preventing and treating oral diseases that have mounting and profound medical impacts on "whole body" health.
