About Us

Who We Are

Advanced Animal Dentistry has been preserving animal smiles in Brisbane and the Gold Coast since 2006. Our Directors, Drs Bec Tucker and Aaron Forsayeth, bring extensive veterinary dental experience, drive and a commitment to pioneering treatments for fast results and lasting benefits.

Our history includes Dr. Gary Wilson, a trailblazer in veterinary dentistry. His mentorship of Dr Aaron Forsayeth led to the establishment of our practice. Dr Wilson continued to guide Dr Bec Tucker upon her arrival in 2015 before retiring in 2018, leaving a legacy of excellence and compassion. At Advanced Animal Dentistry, we go beyond traditional dentistry. We offer personalised care to enhance pet wellbeing and ensure optimal outcomes.

“Pets often arrive in the morning in pain and leave that afternoon feeling significantly better.”

What We Do

Every day at Advanced Animal Dentistry is deeply rewarding. Often, pets arrive in the morning pained and troubled, and by the afternoon, they leave feeling significantly better. We offer a comprehensive range of advanced dental services to accomplish this, from treating common conditions like periodontal disease, broken teeth and stomatitis to performing surgical extractions, root canal therapy and managing complex anaesthesia cases.

We are a premier veterinary dental referral practice offering expert consultancy to several major referral centres in Brisbane and the Gold Coast on a rotational basis. Whether your pet (or patient) needs advice or treatment for a dental issue or oral surgery, Advanced Animal Dentistry is here to deliver the solution.

“Our team brings deep experience, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to delivering advanced treatments that achieve fast results and lasting benefits.”

Complex Anaesthesia

We assess each patient individually, considering their health history, age and any concurrent medical conditions, to tailor the anaesthetic approach to their specific needs.

Surgical Extractions

Removing complex teeth safely and with minimal impact.

Vital Pulpotomy

A vital pulpotomy is a time-sensitive procedure used to preserve the life of a tooth when the pulp becomes exposed due to trauma or dental treatment.

Jaw Fractures

Jaw fractures in pets require precise treatment to restore both structure and function, with a strong focus on proper bite alignment.

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal treatment goes beyond routine dental care to address the deeper damage caused by advanced gum disease.

Oral Surgery

Pet oral surgery can help treat dental problems, injuries, and other conditions affecting your pet’s mouth. Learn about the available procedures and how they can improve your pet’s comfort and oral health.

Dental and Oral Imaging

Dental and oral imaging helps veterinarians identify dental problems that may not be visible during a routine examination. Learn how these imaging techniques support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for your pet.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy can help save a damaged or infected tooth while relieving pain in pets. Learn how this dental procedure works and how it can help preserve your pet’s natural teeth and oral health.

Gingivoplasty

This procedure involves reshaping gum tissue to guide the eruption of canine teeth into a correct position, preventing traumatic occlusion and avoiding more invasive treatments.

Crown Height Reduction

Reducing the height of misaligned canine teeth and protecting the exposed pulp with a filling helps prevent chronic pain, preserve jaw structure and avoid extraction.

Inclined Plane – Crown Extensions

Orthodontic appliances like inclined planes or crown extensions can reposition misaligned canine teeth, preventing trauma and preserving tooth function without altering their shape.

Dog Braces (Orthodontics)

To address mesioverted  (‘lanced’ maxillary canine teeth) and manage linguoversion when the maxillary diastema (the space between the third incisor and canine teeth) is too narrow.

Restorations

Restorative dentistry repairs damaged teeth in pets, often using crowns, veneers and fillings. These procedures restore dental structure and function, ensuring long-term oral health.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Thorough cleaning and examination under anesthesia remove plaque and calculus, preventing periodontal disease and ensuring long-term oral health in pets.

Mandibulectomies and Maxillectomies

These surgeries involve partial or complete removal of the jaw to treat malignant oral tumours. Treatment options vary and may include surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.

Crown Amputation for Tooth Resorption

This procedure, often used for tooth resorption, involves removing the tooth crown while leaving the resorbing root remnant intact. It’s less invasive and used in cases where traditional extraction is no longer possible. Regular follow-up is recommended.

The care and compassion both Bec and Aaron show towards their patients and clients is above and beyond. I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with the whole AAD team including the wonderful admin team Bryl and Hayley. They make the whole experience from booking the appointment to discharge a pleasant experience and the follow up phone calls the day after procedure shows how much they really care about your pet and any concerns you may have. Would highly recommend these guys for any animal dental treatment.

So grateful to Dr Aaron for taking the absolute BEST care of our 13 year old boy Chopper! We honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else for his teeth. Dr Aaron is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, so kind and caring! I am quite the worrier as my boy is my baby and his little teeth are super worn from years of chewing/playing with tennis balls. Dr Aaron really gave us the time to listen to all of our concerns and go over everything so thoroughly. My partner and I came into the consult anxious and stressed and left feeling completely at ease knowing Chopper was in the absolute best hands! We are forever grateful for the high quality care and compassion Dr Aaron provided…..

Dr Aaron and Brylliana give our boy Chopper exceptional care every visit.

They both give us a lot of extra time and relive all our concerns over the phone and in person and never make us feel like we are a bother. They go out of their way to put us at ease with any questions we have and always make us feel like they have the time to reassure us in every way possible.

I would recommend them to anyone considering using them, 11 out of 10.

Thank you both of you for your amazing care!

Dr Aaron cared for our GSD who had fractured her teeth. The team were able to fit us in within a day for surgery and Dr Aaron’s calm bedside manner was (amazingly) able to calm our very anxious, highly strung dog who typically hates a vet surgery environment. Excellent follow up care and communication, it’s clear the team genuinely cares for animals. Surgery was very professionally done and the price was fair and reasonable for specialised expertise. We are very pleased, thank you for such compassionate care for our pup. If only Dr Aaron could be our regular vet!

Dr Bec is amazing! I really feel like my dog is safe with her and I am a very protective and nervous dog mum. My dog also had a really nice recovery and was very comfortable after his tooth removal (due to a nasty abscess). I would definitely recommend Dr Bec and the team to anyone who wants high end care for their pets.
