Using Proven Treatments For Healthier And Better Looking Teeth

Located just minutes from Oakland Park, the McCawley Center for Laser Periodontics & Implants provides advanced periodontal and implant care trusted throughout South Florida. With more than 50 years of experience, our family-led practice combines laser dentistry, microbiology-based diagnostics, and compassionate care to restore healthy gums and confident smiles.

What We Offer

Our treatments are designed to target infection at its source, regenerate lost bone, and preserve natural tissue for long-term oral health.

LANAP® Laser Periodontal Therapy

Example of laser dentistry.

LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) provides a modern, minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease. Using laser energy, we remove infected tissue, disinfect periodontal pockets, and promote bone regeneration, all without scalpels or stitches.

Bad Breath
Treatment

Chronic bad breath often stems from bacteria deep in the tongue and throat. Our bad breath treatment uses specialized laser technology and gas chromatograph testing to locate and eliminate odor-causing bacteria. This science-based approach delivers lasting, measurable results for fresher breath and improved confidence.

Pinhole Surgical
Technique™

pinhole surgical technique.

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique corrects gum recession without grafts or sutures. Through a tiny pinhole, we gently reposition your natural gum tissue to protect roots and improve your smile’s appearance with minimal recovery time.

LAPIP® Laser Care for Implants

If you’ve been told your dental implant is failing, LAPIP® can often save it. This laser procedure removes infection, disinfects the implant surface, and stimulates bone growth to help stabilize and preserve your implant.

Dental Implants & Full Arch Solutions

all-on-4 dental implants.

When teeth cannot be saved, we provide durable, natural-looking replacements. Our single dental implant and full arch implant options restore function, protect bone health, and enhance your smile’s appearance.

Additional Laser
Procedures

We offer cosmetic laser treatments to reshape and even out the gumline. Gummy smile treatment creates a more balanced appearance, while laser gum depigmentation lightens dark pigmentation to reveal a natural, healthy tone.

Personalized Care From Specialists You Can Trust

Dr. Tom McCawley and Dr. Mark McCawley are pioneers in laser periodontics and microbiology-based diagnostics. Together, they offer compassionate, minimally invasive care that focuses on preserving your natural teeth and promoting long-term 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.

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!
