For more than 50 years, McCawley Center for Laser Periodontics & Implants has helped patients in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County restore their oral health, preserve their natural teeth, and avoid unnecessary extractions.
As a family-owned periodontal specialty practice we focus on delivering thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to each individual.
Our approach combines decades of clinical experience with some of the most advanced diagnostic and laser technology available. Whether you are dealing with gum disease, gum recession, or a failing implant, we are here to offer solutions that prioritize both your long-term health and your comfort.
Our clinical research and microscope-guided therapy have helped us become recognized as a leading center for laser periodontal care and implant preservation.
When other providers say a tooth or implant cannot be saved, we have the tools and experience to offer an alternative. Our goal is always to preserve what can be preserved and to do so with the least invasive treatment possible.
We don’t just treat symptoms, we focus on identifying and eliminating the causative bacteria and parasites behind gum disease and implant infections. Using a phase-contrast microscope and, when needed, bacterial cultures, we examine a live sample to determine the exact nature of the infection.
This microbiological insight allows us to select targeted antimicrobial treatments and combine them with laser therapy for more effective, long-lasting results and usually cure your infection. Our doctors have reviewed over 500,000 slides and 4,000 cultures giving us a level of diagnostic experience that few practices can match.
Dr. Tom McCawley has served the Fort Lauderdale community since 1972. His reputation for thoughtful, minimally invasive periodontal care is built on a career of clinical leadership and innovation.
Dr. Mark McCawley, a board-certified periodontist and implant surgeon, brings advanced training in regenerative techniques, dental implants, and the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ for treating gum recession.
As a father-and-son team, they work together to provide continuity of care, individualized treatment, and consistent outcomes.
Our care is grounded in experience, trust, and the belief that patients deserve time, respect, and thoughtful treatment.
From your initial exam to long-term maintenance, you will be supported by a knowledgeable team that understands the importance of preserving both your health and your comfort.
Second opinions are always welcome, especially for patients facing the possibility of extractions or implant loss. We are often able to offer solutions that help save teeth and implants others may have written off.
If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, are experiencing signs of infection, or have a failing dental implant, we are here to help.
We provide science-based, minimally invasive care for even the most advanced cases, all from a trusted, privately owned practice in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
