LANAP treats gum disease around natural teeth. LAPIP does the same for dental implants. Both are FDA-cleared laser therapies that remove bacteria and promote healing without cutting or sutures.

Patients experience less pain, shorter recovery, and excellent long-term results. Many who were told they needed surgery or implant removal have been able to preserve their teeth and implants with our care.

Dental surgery can be nerve wracking and painful, but with the excellent care of surgical assistant William and Dr McCrawley, I had the best experience possible. William takes great time and care to prepare you and Dr McCrawley is always on time and takes time to do the procedure with the utmost care. I highly recommend this team for any periodontal procedure!

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

Very friendly staff, helpful and patient. I felt heard, acknowledged and supported. William explained everything in detail before and during the examination which felt very reassuring. The doctor was patient and made me feel at ease. A very good first experience with this office.

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!

You Don’t Have to Lose Your Teeth or Implants

Bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, or failing implants are often signs of serious infection. Left untreated, these problems can lead to extractions or implant failure.

At the McCawley Center for Laser Periodontics & Implants, we help patients keep their smiles intact. We treat the infection at its source using minimally invasive laser therapy that saves both natural teeth and implants, even when others say they can’t be saved.

We welcome second opinions and are proud to offer alternatives when surgery or removal seems like the only option.

Bad Breath Treatment

Bad breath is often caused by bacteria that live deep in the tongue and throat, releasing gases that produce strong odors. These bacteria can’t be removed with brushing or rinsing alone.

We use advanced diagnostics and patented instruments to treat the source directly, including tongue disinfection and targeted antimicrobials.

This is not a temporary fix. Our goal is to resolve the root problem so you can breathe and speak with confidence again.

Learn More About Bad Breath Treatment

Pinhole Surgical Technique

Receding gums can leave teeth sensitive and visually longer. The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive option that allows us to reposition gum tissue without scalpels or sutures. This gentle approach helps restore a natural, healthy gum line with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.

Learn More About Pinhole Surgical Technique

Full Arch and Dental Implant Surgery

In addition to treating gum disease and infections, we also provide expert dental implant placement, including full arch dental implants for patients with extensive tooth loss.

Our advanced diagnostics and laser-assisted surgical approach help ensure long-term success and faster healing.
