Asheville Periodontics
As Western North Carolina's leaders in specialized dental care, Asheville Periodontics will treat you with the highest level of technical expertise in periodontal and dental implant care. We enthusiastically serve you with the personalized, gentle treatment that you deserve, in a caring atmosphere.

Your general dentist has determined that your gums require special care, and has referred you to a periodontist. Periodontists are dentists who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of gum disease. By referring you to a periodontist, your dentist is showing a strong commitment to your optimal dental care.

The security and privacy of patient data is one of our primary concerns and we have taken every precaution to protect it. At Asheville Periodontics we strive to care for your patients as you would. The referral partnership is vital to the successful outcome of any complex treatment, and it is our goal to communicate with you clearly and effectively during all phases of treatment.
At Asheville Periodontics, we provide quality patient experiences to everyone who walks in our door. Through personal growth and education, we remain energized and at the forefront of periodontal care. On your first visit, you can expect our team to go above and beyond your expectations to provide you the best oral care and education.
Always check with your medical doctor before stopping any medications. It is not necessary to discontinue Aspirin or any blood thinning medications prior to surgery. We do ask that you avoid alcohol the night before surgery. We ask that men arrive for surgery clean shaven unless you wear a beard normally, and that women do not wear makeup.

Melissa was so gentle during my routine cleaning, she made sure to be careful around a sensitive crown and could not have been more kind throughout the entire process. I have had some bad experiences with scaling/cleaning in the past but this visit went super smoothly and was totally pain-free. Cannot recommend this team enough!! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Excellent care! The dentists and techs are so kind and patient here. I had a great experience and would trust them to work on anyone in my family for periodontal care. If you’re looking for a periodontist in the area, this is the one to go to.

Dr. Goggin was very friendly and reassuring. After feeling judged and scared by my primary dentist, she helped me to understand my gum health and comforted me that my prognosis is good.

This was the best office I have been to to have a tooth pulled and I only have 21 teeth left so you can imagine what I mean. Caring and compassionate and they have the best technology. Don’t hesitate if you need the services of a periodontist. Dr Goggin is great !

After having a couple of procedures I most heartily recommend Dr. Goggin and the entire staff! Everyone's attention to the details of my dental needs and my well-being in the process has impressed me considerably. I cannot imagine going anywhere else for periodontal care.

Greatest office EVER! If you have to have any dental work done, Asheville Periodontistics is the place to be. I am not particularly a fan of dental procedures but Dr Goggin and her ah-mazing staff are incredibly comforting and uber-friendly. Over the course of my gum graft I actually looked forward to the office visits (and I drove an hour each way) Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed with the expertise or the welcoming environment...and I'm old and extremely honest! 😊

Dr. Goggin and her staff have finally put away my fear of dentistry and periodontics. They took my fears seriously and wonderfully addressed my pain issues. They explained what they were doing and why all the time. This is a great place with great people who will take care of you!
