Highly recommend Dr. McCawley and his incredible team! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mark McCawley, Maria, Brittany, William, and the entire staff. I recently underwent LANAP treatment and received two dental implants. I just finished my 3-week follow-up appointment today, and everything is healing beautifully and going exactly as planned. From day one, they have been incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. If you need a periodontist, this is absolutely the team you want!

Yes, I know I’m getting the best care and that whatever is going on they will tell me. They treat me as if they were treating their own bodies and their own family. I also know, without a doubt that they have the latest technology and experience. I have not needed it yet, but I know they do great laser treatment instead of cutting your gums away to handle periodontal disease and bone loss. I also know they do the best treatment for gum recession instead of having tissue painfully removed from the roof your mouth and put on the front of your receding gums. They had the latest technique called Pinhole I have no attention on that. I need a second opinion or that I am getting the best treatment or care because I am in the place that provides that. Donald

I have been treating with Dr. Tom McCawley and his son, Dr. Mark McCawley, for many years. 15 years ago I was referred to them for periodontal surgery (my third gum surgery in 25 years) I was impressed with the high standard of surgical and follow up care, compared to my 2 previous periodontal dentists. (The other guys were OK, but the professional care with Doctors McCawley was notably superior) I have used them for molar extraction also. I now see them every 3 months for a cleaning and gum inspection. The hygienists who do my cleaning are excellent. My retired dentist said I have chronic gum disease which runs in my family. She highly recommended the McCawleys and she was right. I’m 651 years old and have a nice, full set of teeth. I plan to keep it that way with my 3 month visits. Gerard S. (Jerry) Williams. I was seen again today by Dr. Mark McCawley for my 3 month visit. (I get a cleaning and X-ray review every three months on the advice of my lawyer grime retired dentist. As expected, my. Hygienist did a comprehensive review of my gum status and took full mouth X-rays. Dr. Mark McCawley came in for a review and confirmed my good dental and gum health. It’s penny wise and pound foolish to delay gum and dental care. I’m 64 and have quality teeth due to the care I’ve received from Dr. Tom and Mark McCawley over the past 13 years. Gerard S (Jerry) Williams Just saw Dr. Mark McCawley for my 90 day cleaning and checkup. Dr. Tom McCawley (Mark's father) performed laser gum surgery on me 15 years ago. (My 3rd periodontal surgery in 25 years, the first 2 by other doctors) I have not had any gum issues since. I believe this is because I strictly follow Dr. Tom McCawley's tooth care regimen (FBI - Floss, Brush, Irrigate) I have a waterpick / waterflosser that I irrigate with twice a day with water and a splash of bleach. I asked if I could use a peppermint mouthwash additive instead, but the good doctor explained that nothing kills gum bacteria like bleach. And it's so cheap it's free. And you get used to the taste. Bottom line: I haven't had a gum issue in 15 years. In the old days, my gums would bleed every time I flossed (a sure sign of gum disease). Since I began my FBI regimen years ago with Dr. McCawley, blood in the sink is a thing of the past. Gerard (Jerry) Williams

Why Patients in Fort Lauderdale Trust McCawley Center

We are a family practice giving individualized care to patients in Broward County for over 50 years. We are not owned by a hedge fund corporation managed from afar like many practices.

Leaders in Laser Dentistry

We were the first practice in the country to adopt the Nd:YAG laser for periodontal therapy. Our experience with laser procedures, including LANAP® and LAPIP®, is unmatched worldwide.

Personalized, Microscope-Guided Diagnosis

We don’t guess — we diagnose. Using phase contrast microscopy, we identify bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses that cause gum disease and implant infections. This allows us to create highly targeted treatment plans that address the root cause of infection.

Pioneers in Minimally Invasive Techniques

From laser periodontal therapy to the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ for gum recession, we offer modern treatments that minimize pain, speed up healing, and save natural teeth whenever possible.

Specialists in Saving Infected Implants When Others Can’t

Through LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure), we help save dental implants that other offices might remove. Our expertise helps patients preserve their investment and smile.

Breath Treatment Solutions

We are the only office in the world with patented technology for curing chronic bad breath at its microbial source.

They have presented their research at major meetings, including the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Academy of Dental Research, and teach at Nova Southeastern University.
