What Makes the McCawley Center Stand out?
What is our health-care specialty?
We specialize in periodontics focusing on the treatment of gum diseases and the placement of dental implants. Our expertise lies in utilizing minimally invasive techniques such as the Laser- Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) for gum disease and Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation for gum recession. These advanced procedures have revolutionized our approach to patient care, offering reduced discomfort and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods.
What distinguishes our practice from others?
-
- Laser Pioneers: We were the first in the country to introduce the Nd:YAG laser, and our experience with laser procedures surpasses any other practice worldwide.
- Microscopic Precision: We employ cutting-edge microscopic and culturing techniques to identify and treat the root bacterial cause of gum This approach ensures effective and long lasting treatment outcomes.
- Chao Pinhole Certification: As one of only 35 clinicians certified as advanced Chao Pinhole clinicians worldwide, we can address gum recession without resorting to painful palate wounds.
- Bad Breath Specialists: We possess exclusive access to patented instruments, making us one of only two offices globally utilizing this technique that specializes in curing offensive bad breath.
- Implant Expertise: Mark McCawley, a board-certified dental implant surgeon, brings his extensive knowledge and teaches implantology at Nova Dental School.
Is there an experience that that speaks to the core philosophy of our practice?
Recently, we treated a patient who had been told by another dentist that they would lose all their teeth due to severe gum disease. Overwhelmed by dental anxiety, the patient had postponed treatment. By providing compassionate care, addressing their concerns, and offering sedation options, we performed the LANAP treatment, ultimately saving their teeth. This case reflects our commitment to personalized care, advanced technology, and saving our patients’ smiles for a lifetime.

Both doctors received the LANAP Gold Medal for their laser studies.

I got a botched VERY EXPENSIVE gum repair surgery prior to arriving to McCawley Center. My teeth were in a very concerning state and I felt sensitivity in many areas of my mouth. I am very relived, blessed, and extremely happy with the successful surgery I had at the McCawley Center. I continue to receive check ups and cleanings because I feel most comfortable here. The best place continued gum care and oral health. Definitely worth every penny. My mouth feels fantastic.

This morning it was my first visit to Dr.McCawley’s office. The front desk girls were very nice and friendly. Then I was met by Vanya, nurse hygienist. She was very professional, she took her time to explain every test she conducted as well as the tests results. She collected all the necessary information so when Dr. McCawley came to the room he had a total picture of my case.
Dr.McCawley is a young doctor with very good bedside manners. He went over the treatment plan and discussed all the options. Overall, I had a very good experience with this office. I’m sure that Dr. McCawley will deliver great results.

Janet Smith
My experience was amazing! Dr. Marc McCawley and his staff left me feeling better leaving their office than when I went in. Even though they are located some distance from my home (an hour), I will be going to them for my future oral care. I will be recommending them to my friends and family.

As always compassionate comprehensive care. I am a loyal patient of Dr McCawley’s office. He never misses the opportunity to personally greet me whereas I am in need of his services or not. The hygienists are simply the best. The office is staffed by pleasant and capable individuals. I highly recommend them.
Robert N
The staff and Dr. McCawley are the best you will find anywhere. I was suffering with a lot of pain and called the office. They told me to come right over. I waited only a few minutes before they took an x-ray and shortly after that I had a complete exam that diagnosed the problem. It was a tremendous relief. From my initial phone call to every interaction that I had with the staff I must say that this office sets the gold standard for patient care. A few years ago I had an extraction and an implant done here. It was perfectly done and nearly painless.
Yusimil Garcia

Anna Recchia
I had a big procedure done on my gums to help restore bone growth and kill bacteria, etc. I cannot say better things about Dr. McCawley and his staff. They are so friendly, professional, timely, made me feel very safe while they were burning under my gums (in a good way)…..It was a big process to heal from as well and they had such clear instructions and videos plus sent you home with a day by day!….it was beyond organized.
Aida McAdams
Dr. McCawley and his entire team provided me with the absolute best service and care. I am so grateful to their entire team for helping reconstruct my implant that had complications from a different provider. The peace and relief that they made me feel is priceless. I can’t recommend them enough.
