Farber Center for Periodontics & Dental Implants
Our purpose is to preserve teeth by providing unsurpassed dental and periodontal care — with a holistic, whole-body approach and nearly every service provided in-house.
Holistic dental care, delivered in-house
Our core purpose is to preserve teeth by providing unsurpassed dental and periodontal care, and to replace teeth when necessary. We are unique among Long Island periodontists in providing nearly every service in-house — even including the fabrication of dental implants.
Our patient-centered approach includes thorough consultation and explanation of all treatment options before any work begins. Eliminating low-grade infections that may be present in the mouth as a result of periodontal disease can have beneficial health effects extending as far as the central nervous system, heart, circulatory system, and the immune system.
