The Best Care Includes
the Best COVID-19 Safety

Staying up to date on your oral health is critical to your overall health, especially during this era of COVID-19. ROC Perio & Implants is an essential business. ROC Perio & Implants far surpasses CDC guidelines for surgical facilities. We go far beyond the minimums to ensure your safety and the well-being of our staff. Allow us to share a few highlights of our policies, procedures, and best practices. 


Here is what sets ROC Perio apart:  

• ROC Perio's new facility and state-of-the-art surgical theaters are always vigorously sterilized to the highest standards each day.
  
  
• Our surgical and dental hygiene suites are sanitized between each patient.
  
  
• Our surgeons, technicians, and dental hygienists all utilize augmented PPE, including face shields and dual face masks.
  
  
• Your vehicle becomes our waiting room as we minimize the number of people inside our practice. Please call us when you arrive. We will soon invite you in!
  
  
• Please use our hand-sanitization station as you come in. Masks are also required.
  
  
• Our staff welcomes you warmly as always. For your added protection, we do a quick survey of any exposure to COVID-19. If you prefer, online forms can speed up your check-in, and minimize contact.
  
  
• Our "no-touch" temperature station allows you and our assistants to check for above normal temperatures, a common early indicator of COVID-19.
  
  
• We use state-of-the-art equipment to clean and sterilize dental cleaning and surgical tools.
  
  
• Teledentistry enhances our follow-up after any surgical procedures. Patients no longer have to make extra trips for progress exams. (Certain in-person exams may be required.)
  
  
• Because our facility is brand-new, our heating and cooling system only supports our space. (Many other medical facilities share heating and cooling systems.
  
  
• That means you could be breathing the same air as everyone else in the entire building.
  
  
• ROC Perio & Implants have added a state-of-the-art air purification system. These revolutionary units employ the latest technology from NASA which cleans / recirculates pure air during space travel. Bacteria and viruses are destroyed as they pass through intense UV-C light and a photo-catalytic process. Multiple stages of filtration trap the smallest particles down to range of the COVID-19 virus, (approx. 0.1 microns.)

The second wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic is upon us. Experts have learned so much more about Coronavirus propagation since the first wave of 2020.  1) The COVID-19 virus can live a limited time on surfaces, and hence the need for vigilant disinfection. 2) The tiny COVID-19 virus often travels limited distances through droplet transmission from coughs and sneezes, and hence the need for masks and distancing. 3) COVID-19 virus can also travel by airborne transmission (without a droplet) where small particles “can be dispersed widely by air currents and may become inhaled by a susceptible host in the same room or over a longer distance from the source patient."(1) Hence, there is also a need for indoor air filtration and purification, and limiting gathering size. ROC Perio and Implants address all three of these types of virus transmission.

Providing you the absolute best in protection is just part of ROC Perio and Implants' commitment to "Exceptional and Personalized Care!"
