Precision Dental Solutions
At Trower Dental, we’re proud to offer advanced laser dentistry in Darwin using the dual-wavelength Gemini Laser. This advanced technology supports both soft tissue surgery and low-level laser therapy through its Photobiomodulation (PBM) function, giving us more flexibility in how we approach your care.
PBM allows us to assist with healing, reduce inflammation, and ease discomfort — all by using targeted light energy at a cellular level. Whether it’s relieving TM joint pain, reshaping your gumline, or managing tooth sensitivity, this approach can support faster recovery without the need for local anaesthetic.
Our laser dentistry services are suited to a wide range of needs, from reducing post-operative pain to speeding up ulcer healing and removing excess gum tissue. Your comfort remains a priority throughout every step. To learn more or book a consultation, call us on

What Laser Dentistry Helps Treat
Our approach to laser dentistry allows us to assist with a wide range of dental concerns using light-based technology. From easing discomfort to promoting healing, our treatments are designed to support your comfort and oral health in ways that traditional methods may not always provide:
- Reducing Post-Extraction Pain: Laser treatment can ease discomfort and accelerate healing following a tooth extraction.
- Managing TMJ Dysfunction: Targeted laser therapy may help ease tension and discomfort in the temporomandibular joint.
- Treating Aphthous Ulcers: Lasers can be used to reduce pain and speed up recovery from painful mouth ulcers.
- Improving Osseointegration of Implants: Light-based therapy can support bone integration around implants, contributing to their stability.
- Relieving Dentin Hypersensitivity: Laser therapy helps calm nerve responses, reducing tooth sensitivity caused by exposed dentin.
This broad range of applications makes laser dentistry a flexible option for ongoing dental care. Speak with our team to see how it may fit your treatment plan.
What You Can Expect
During our laser dentistry, you can expect a comfortable and precise treatment experience. The procedure typically begins with a discussion of your symptoms and goals, followed by the use of our Gemini dual-wavelength laser to target specific soft tissue concerns. Because the laser uses focused light energy, many treatments do not require local anaesthetic, making the process simpler and less invasive than traditional methods.
Throughout your session, the laser works to gently reshape, remove or stimulate tissue depending on the treatment area. Whether it’s reducing tooth sensitivity, treating ulcers or easing TMJ discomfort, the procedure is generally quiet and minimises bleeding and swelling. You may feel a warm sensation, but pain is uncommon.
After the procedure, there’s often minimal recovery time. You might notice reduced inflammation, faster healing, or immediate relief, depending on the issue being treated. Overall, laser dentistry offers an efficient and low-discomfort experience for a range of dental conditions.
Do dental lasers replace traditional tools?
Dental lasers can significantly reduce the need for traditional tools in many procedures, particularly those involving soft tissues. However, they do not entirely replace conventional instruments. Lasers are most effective for specific treatments such as reshaping gums, treating ulcers, or reducing sensitivity. For certain restorative work, like drilling large cavities or placing crowns, traditional tools are still necessary. Dentists may combine both approaches to achieve the best outcome for your specific dental needs.
Can laser dentistry help with gum disease?
Yes, laser dentistry is commonly used to assist in treating gum disease. The laser can precisely target and remove inflamed or infected gum tissue, kill bacteria, and promote the regeneration of healthy tissue. It offers a less invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery, often with reduced bleeding and faster recovery times. Laser therapy is especially useful in early to moderate periodontal disease and may be used alongside other non-surgical and surgical treatment methods.
How long does a laser dental treatment take?
The length of a laser dental treatment depends on the condition being addressed and the complexity of the procedure. Simple treatments, like reducing tooth sensitivity or treating ulcers, may take only a few minutes. More involved procedures, such as gum contouring or deep periodontal cleaning, may require 30 to 60 minutes. One advantage of laser dentistry is its efficiency—treatment times are often shorter compared to traditional methods due to minimal preparation and quicker healing.
