Read full description

<p>CharlottePerio is a periodontal specialty practice located in Suite 103-R at 3535 Randolph Road in the Wendover&mdash;Sedgewood neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. The practice focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and the supporting structures of the teeth, serving patients referred from general dentists as well as those who seek specialist care directly.</p> <p>Periodontics addresses conditions that affect the gums and the bone that holds teeth in place. Gum disease&mdash;ranging from gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis&mdash;is among the most common chronic conditions in adults and, when left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to systemic health conditions including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.</p> <p>Periodontal treatments offered at specialty practices of this type typically include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning below the gumline), osseous surgery for advanced bone loss, gum grafts to address gum recession, and placement of dental implants where tooth loss has occurred. Ongoing periodontal maintenance visits&mdash;generally on a three- to four-month cycle&mdash;are a key part of managing chronic gum disease after active treatment is complete.</p> <p>CharlottePerio is staffed by periodontists who work with patients presenting complex gum health needs, including those with systemic health conditions that affect oral tissues. The practice coordinates care with referring general dentists and other specialists as part of an integrated approach to patient health.</p> <p>The 3535 Randolph Road location sits in the Wendover&mdash;Sedgewood area, which is accessible from Providence Road, Sharon Road, and the Cotswold neighborhood. Patients from Eastover, Myers Park, and surrounding zip codes will find the location centrally placed within Charlotte&rsquo;s inner ring.</p> <p>Patients who have been told by their general dentist that they need periodontal evaluation or treatment, or those who have noticed persistent gum bleeding, swelling, or recession, can contact CharlottePerio to schedule a specialist consultation.</p> <p>To reach the practice or request an appointment, use the contact details provided on this page.</p>

How to Choose a Dentist in Charlotte

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated July 15, 2026Independently reviewed

General dentistry in Charlotte must serve as the dental home for a city that grew by nearly one hundred thousand people in a single decade — a Sun Belt growth rate that has created a perpetual new-patient demand that the Charlotte dental community has absorbed while simultaneously managing the established patient recall that the prior decade's arrivals now represent. The Charlotte general dentist whose practice serves the Bank of America Uptown professional and the East Charlotte construction worker simultaneously is a rarer practitioner than the demographic geography suggests, because the economic stratification between Uptown and South Charlotte on one hand and the Independence Boulevard and North Tryon corridors on the other is significant enough that most practices implicitly calibrate to one half of the market and serve the other poorly. NC Medicaid's expansion has extended the adult dental benefit to income-eligible adults, creating a funded patient population that the practices with active NC Medicaid billing serve and the practices without it redirect.

Smyleee evaluated Charlotte general dental practices on examination protocol completeness and diagnostic quality, NC Medicaid and commercial dental insurance billing range, Spanish-language team capability for the growing Latino patient community, geographic distribution across Mecklenburg County rather than South Charlotte concentration, practitioner credentials and continuing education investment, and clinical quality consistency across the full preventive and restorative general dental scope. These ten Charlotte practices are the general dentists the data confirmed as most reliably serving as a complete, trustworthy long-term dental home for the full economic and demographic diversity of the rapidly growing Greater Charlotte patient community.
