Our patients say.

"In August 2022, I had pinhole surgery performed Dr. Roxanne Lowenguth and her staff at ROC Perio & Implants. Dr. Lowenguth was highly recommended by my dentist to perform this surgery. Dr. Lowenguth did an excellent job performing the pinhole surgery, and she has a great supporting staff who are knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. I am extremely pleased with the results, and I highly recommend anyone considering pinhole surgery to consult Dr. Roxanne Lowenguth."

Tom M.

"I am a very satisfied patient of Dr. Shang. I came in with symptoms of periodontal disease and was very concerned about my prognosis. My primary dentist recommended Dr. Shang, because he thought my issues were so severe that I needed to see a specialist. I feared that I may need surgery or even lose teeth. After a few descaling procedures with Dr. Shang and sticking to her recommended treatment plan (and of course following her excellent advice regarding home care) my gums are much, much, much better. I no longer experience bleeding or inflammation and feel very comfortable regarding my oral hygiene. Thank you so much Dr. Shang! Also a shout out to the very friendly, courteous, and professional staff at ROC Perio. What a great group of people! I feel very fortunate that I was recommended to ROC Perio and not some other place."

Michael B.

Tami P.

"I had a gingival graft done by Dr. Shang earlier this year. She thoroughly explained all the pros and cons of having the graft, and did a great job making sure I was comfortable during the actual procedure. I am very happy with the result. All the staff and doctors at ROC Perio are very courteous and friendly, and the office space is beautiful, clean and modern."
