All lasers, laser treatments and laser therapists are not the same. Our office had the first Nd:YAG laser in the country in 1990 and pioneered the treatment of periodontal disease with lasers. With the laser, we save teeth and implants when others say they can’t. We are the most experienced laser provider in the world.
If saving your teeth with less pain and a quicker recovery is important to you, this is a treatment that you must consider!
Doctor Mark McCawley is board certified by the American Board of Periodontology.
We had the first Nd:YAG laser in the country in 1990. We have been involved in five published studies.

A periodontist specializes in treating gum disease and placing dental implants. If you have issues like gum recession, tooth loss, or advanced gum disease, a periodontist can help save your teeth and improve your oral health.
If you have bleeding gums, bad breath, or notice your gums receding, these are all signs of gum disease. Early intervention can save your teeth and prevent more severe issues down the line.
We are pioneers in laser therapy, including the LANAP® procedure, which treats gum disease with minimal pain and faster healing. We also specialize in the Pinhole® technique for gum recession and bad breath treatment.
Absolutely! We offer state-of-the-art dental implants, including All-on-4, to restore missing teeth. Our board-certified team ensures precision and long-lasting results.
During your visit, we’ll assess your gums, take any necessary X-rays, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. We’re here to make your experience as comfortable and informed as possible.
We specialize in periodontics focusing on the treatment of gum diseases and the placement of dental implants. Our expertise lies in utilizing minimally invasive techniques such as the Laser- Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) for gum disease and Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation for gum recession. These advanced procedures have revolutionized our approach to patient care, offering reduced discomfort and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods.
Recently, we treated a patient who had been told by another dentist that they would lose all their teeth due to severe gum disease. Overwhelmed by dental anxiety, the patient had postponed treatment. By providing compassionate care, addressing their concerns, and offering sedation options, we performed the LANAP treatment, ultimately saving their teeth. This case reflects our commitment to personalized care, advanced technology, and saving our patients’ smiles for a lifetime.

“I am honored to be reappointed to serve on the Florida State Board of Dentistry to help protect the health and welfare of our citizens from dental treatments which do not meet the standard of care and also to help elevate and maintain the professional standards of dentistry in Florida.”
We had the first periodontal laser in the country in 1990. Since then, we have completed over 5,000 successful laser periodontal procedures, more than any other periodontal practice in the world. This laser treatment is much less invasive than traditional cutting and stitching surgery, and is FDA approved to regenerate bone instead of destroying bone like traditional surgery. Both doctors received the LANAP Gold Medal for their laser studies.
Over 30 years ago, our office pioneered treating the bacterial cause of periodontal disease, not just the resultant pockets, to cure not just control the infection, which helps prevent recurrence. We have analyzed over 400,000 bacterial samples under the microscope, more than any other periodontal practice in the world.
For implants, Dr. Mark McCawley completed three years of graduate training in their placement and is board certified in dental implant surgery. He has successfully placed hundreds of implants and specializes in placing “All on 4” cases. For these case, he usually places 6 implants which greatly increases predictability.. He uses only the top of the line, most-researched implants, not generic knockoffs.
Dr. John Chao: “Drs. Mark and Tom McCawley are very prominent and talented periodontists in Fort Lauderdale. They have taught in my seminar several times and are one of only 30 offices in the world that I have certified as Advanced Pinhole Surgeons. They are extremely experienced in Pinhole Surgery and have done many procedures with beautiful results. The doctors are well known nationally on the Pinhole Technique and co-authored a study that they presented at the American Academy of Dental Research of 266 Pinhole Surgery sites that averaged 93% coverage at an average time of 17 months. They are the go-to office for this procedure in South Florida.”The Florida Breath Center has a 20-year track record of Curing Bad Breath. Unlike other offices, we totally eliminate the source of the problem. That takes time and skill and the use of very specialized instruments – instruments only available in one other office in the world.
Approximately 35% of people have bad breath. If you or someone you know has bad breath, give us a call for guaranteed cure.
We have five published research studies on laser treatment and have pioneered the treatment of failing, infected implants to save them if at all possible. We were recently invited to lecture to an international implant meeting on our technique to save failing implants. We teach how to treat infected implants in the Nova Southeastern College of Dental Medicine Maxi-implant course. We have written two books for patients and clinicians on how to treat periodontal disease, peri-implant diseases and other oral diseases which are downloadable on our website McCawley.com.
If you are anxious, we offer oral, IV, and nitrous oxide sedation to make you very comfortable during treatment. Most procedures can be accomplished in only one visit. For additional comfort, we use the infrared Vein Viewer technology, which helps ensure comfortable venipuncture the first time. We have safely completed more than 4,000 sedation procedures.
