I recently shifted to Ubuntu 17.10. After enabling ubuntu-dock extension from Gnome-Tweak-Tools, I found no specific settings for customizing the Ubuntu-Dock in gnome-settings or gnome-control-center.
A temporary hack i found for accessing the dock settings was changing XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable from terminal and then launching gnome-control-center from there.
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=ubuntu:GNOME gnome-control-center
I wanted to know if there is some permanent way to get Ubuntu-Dock-Settings in gnome-control-center

If you have upgraded from Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 the default GNOME session(s) will still remain for you to choose during login. On top of that the all-new GNOME session(s) customised by Ubuntu (simply named Ubuntu and/or Ubuntu on Xorg) will be added.
Ubuntu dock setting is accessible only from the GNOME session(s) customised by Ubuntu, not from the default GNOME session(s).
When you boot your system and get to the GDM login screen you should find a cogwheel (⚙️) next to the sign in button. If you click on the cogwheel you should find an Ubuntu (and/or Ubuntu on Xorg) option.
Choose Ubuntu (or Ubuntu on Xorg) instead of GNOME (or GNOME on Xorg).
