Using Proven Treatments For Healthier And Better Looking Teeth

Patients from Boca Raton can expect exceptional, science-based care just a short drive south at the McCawley Center for Laser Periodontics & Implants. For more than 50 years, our Fort Lauderdale practice has led the way in laser dentistry and microbiology-based periodontal care.

What We Offer

LANAP® Laser Periodontal Therapy

Example of laser dentistry.

LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) uses targeted laser energy to remove infection and stimulate bone growth without scalpels or stitches. The treatment is comfortable, precise, and allows most patients to resume normal activity the next day.

Bad Breath
Treatment

Persistent bad breath is often caused by bacteria that live deep in the tongue and throat. We use specialized laser treatment and gas chromatograph testing to locate and eliminate the source of odor. Our bad breath treatment has nearly 30 years of documented success in providing long-lasting, science-based results.

Pinhole Surgical
Technique™

pinhole surgical technique.

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique treats gum recession without the need for tissue grafts or incisions. Through a small pinhole, we gently reposition your natural gum tissue to cover exposed roots, restoring a healthy, natural gumline.

LAPIP® Laser Care for Implants

When implants show signs of infection or bone loss, the LAPIP® procedure can help preserve them. This laser-based treatment disinfects the implant surface, removes diseased tissue, and encourages new bone formation—often avoiding the need for implant replacement.

Dental Implants & Full Arch Solutions

all-on-4 dental implants.

For patients who need tooth replacement, we offer single implants and full arch solutions that restore strength, comfort, and confidence while supporting long-term bone health.

Additional Laser
Procedures

Our cosmetic laser treatments improve both the health and appearance of your gums. Gummy smile treatment reshapes the gumline for a balanced look, while laser gum depigmentation lightens dark pigmentation for a more even tone.

Personalized Care From Specialists You Can Trust

Dr. Tom McCawley and Dr. Mark McCawley have built a reputation for excellence in periodontal and implant care throughout South Florida. With decades of experience, advanced training, and a focus on minimally invasive laser dentistry, they deliver exceptional results that prioritize patient comfort and lasting oral health.

This is a further update to my previous post. I had laser surgery on my gums in February. My most recent check-up this month showed tremendous progress. My gums have regained their health and the bacteria have not returned! McCawley's is a remarkable practice. The father and son team are a powerful force. But I would like to recognize Vania, my assigned dental hygienist, and the cheerful welcoming ladies at the front desk, who make the visit positive from start to end. ______________________________________________________________ As a result of a fall, my 80-year-old mother was more distraught at the thought of losing her front teeth than at the loss of blood from a ruptured artery in her mouth. I made an appointment with the McCawley Center while waiting in the emergency room. It was a Sunday before a federal holiday (MLK Day). They called and confirmed their earliest appointment. Dr. McCawley (the founder) saw my mother, and his bedside manner was both instructive and compassionate. Luckily, my mother could keep her teeth! He did additional work to stabilize them to assist in their healing. Most amazing of all, Dr. McCawley took into consideration that my mother was on vacation and gave her a parting gift. I am grateful to have discovered the McCawley Center earlier for my dental care and was able to rely on them for my mother's as well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your mother's experience. We are glad to have been able to help her keep her teeth. Take care, both of you!

Dr. Dan McCawley and his team are the absolute best! I just finished my 6-month follow-up and cleaning after undergoing LANAP laser treatment and an implant removal surgery. The entire healing process and follow-up care have been incredibly smooth. Adriana handled my cleaning and was excellent—so thorough, gentle, and attentive to my comfort. Dr. McCawley's expertise in advanced procedures combined with such a caring, supportive team completely takes the stress out of periodontal care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier results and a truly comfortable experience. Thank you Dr.McCawley

I recently had a gum graft done by Dr. McCawley, and after going through the procedure myself, I can confidently recommend him. Choosing the right doctor for something like this is a big decision, and I’m really happy I trusted him with my care. I had a great experience overall. Thank you Dr. McCawley!

Serving the Boca Raton Community

If you live in Boca Raton, you are only a short drive from leading-edge periodontal care. Our Fort Lauderdale office provides free parking and is conveniently located near Federal Highway and East Broward Boulevard.

Schedule Your Consultation Today

Do not let gum disease, implant issues, or chronic bad breath affect your confidence. Dr. Tom and Dr. Mark McCawley provide advanced treatments designed for comfort, precision, and long-term results. Call today to schedule your consultation.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

Our office is approximately 20 miles south of Boca Raton, located at 800 E Broward Blvd #706 in Fort Lauderdale. The drive typically takes around 35 minutes via I-95 South.

We specialize in treating advanced cases of gum disease using LANAP® laser therapy, which removes infection and promotes bone regeneration while preserving natural tissue and teeth.

Laser gum depigmentation is an excellent option if you have dark spots or uneven coloration on your gums. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and provides long-lasting cosmetic improvement with minimal recovery time.

Our bad breath treatment targets the underlying bacteria rather than masking odor. Using gas chromatograph testing, we measure sulfur gases to identify the cause, then use a specialized laser to disinfect bacteria deep in the tongue and throat. The result is fresher breath and a healthier mouth.

We offer two options for new patients: a $79 comprehensive exam including X-rays (a $475 value), and a $595 bad breath treatment special that includes X-rays, an OralChroma gas chromatograph evaluation, and a consultation with one of our doctors.

We specialize in treating infected implants and welcome appointments for second opinions. We treat infected implants using the LAPIP® protocol, which removes bacteria and promotes bone regrowth without traditional surgery. This approach can frequently save an implant that might otherwise be lost.
