Using Proven Treatments For Healthier And Better Looking Teeth

At the McCawley Center for Laser Periodontics & Implants, patients from Lighthouse Point will find advanced, minimally invasive care rooted in more than 50 years of experience. Located in nearby Fort Lauderdale, our family-led practice combines laser technology and microbiology-based diagnostics to treat gum disease at its source, preserve natural teeth, and restore confidence in your smile.

What We Offer

Our periodontal and implant treatments are designed to eliminate infection, promote bone regrowth, and maintain lasting oral health.

LANAP® Laser Periodontal Therapy

Example of laser dentistry.

LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) treats gum disease without scalpels or stitches. Using a specialized dental laser, we remove diseased tissue, disinfect periodontal pockets, and stimulate bone regeneration, all while preserving healthy gums.

Bad Breath
Treatment

Chronic bad breath often originates deep in the tongue and throat. We use specialized laser treatment combined with gas chromatograph testing to detect and eliminate odor-causing bacteria. Our bad breath treatment has nearly 30 years of documented success in providing lasting, science-based relief for patients struggling with persistent halitosis.

Pinhole Surgical
Technique™

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique provides a modern, minimally invasive solution for gum recession. By gently repositioning the gum tissue through a small entry point, we restore healthy coverage without grafts, incisions, or stitches.

LAPIP® Laser Care for Implants

When dental implants develop infection or bone loss, LAPIP® can often save them. This gentle laser procedure removes bacteria and diseased tissue while stimulating new bone growth, helping to preserve your existing implant.

Dental Implants & Full Arch Solutions

all-on-4 dental implants.

When replacement is necessary, we offer durable, natural-looking dental implants. Whether you need a single implant or a full arch solution, we focus on restoring comfort, function, and long-term oral health.

Additional Laser
Procedures

We also perform cosmetic laser procedures to reshape or brighten the gumline. Gummy smile treatment creates a more balanced look, while laser gum depigmentation restores an even, natural tone.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

Our office is about 13 miles from Lighthouse Point. You’ll find us at 800 East Broward Blvd. #706 in Fort Lauderdale, just a 30-minute drive south.

Many of our patients come to us after being told their teeth must be removed. Our LANAP® laser therapy can often regenerate bone and save natural teeth that would otherwise be lost to gum disease.

Our approach targets the source of chronic bad breath rather than masking it. Using gas chromatograph testing, we measure odor-causing sulfur gases to pinpoint the problem, then use a specialized laser treatment to eliminate bacteria hiding deep in the tongue and throat. With nearly 30 years of documented success, our method provides lasting, guaranteed results.

For most patients, the results of laser gum depigmentation are long-lasting. The procedure gently removes the surface pigment cells responsible for dark spots, revealing lighter, healthier-looking gums underneath. While results can vary based on genetics and lifestyle habits like smoking, many patients enjoy an even gum tone for years without the need for retreatment.

For new patients, our comprehensive dental exam, including X-rays, is available for $79 (a $475 value). For those seeking help with chronic halitosis, our bad breath treatment special includes X-rays, an OralChroma gas chromatograph evaluation, and a full consultation for $595.
