Bec Tucker

Specialist Veterinary Dentist – BVSc (Hons) MANZCVS (Small Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery)
Diplomate, American Veterinary Dental College™

Hi, I’m Dr Bec Tucker, and my journey into veterinary dentistry has been unexpected yet incredibly fulfilling. In fact, dentistry wasn’t on my radar at all when I graduated with a BVSc (Hons) from the University of Sydney in 2007. I was fortunate to meet veterinarians who had found their passion for dentistry, and their encouragement and enthusiasm shifted my perspective. Through continuing education lectures and workshops, I went from not fancying dentistry and oral surgery to genuinely loving it.

“Our journey into veterinary dental care has grown into a genuine passion over time.”

Aaron Forsayeth

BVSc (Hons) MACVSc (Veterinary Dentistry)

Hi, I’m Dr Aaron Forsayeth, and I’ve had quite the journey in veterinary medicine. Originally, I never imagined myself pursuing dentistry.

I spent my initial years in general practice until a chance meeting with Dr Gary Wilson changed my career path. He inspired me to explore veterinary dentistry, and together, we co-founded Advanced Animal Dentistry in 2006. It’s ironic, considering I used to dread dental procedures, but with the right knowledge and skills, it became a passion that I absolutely love to this day.

Brylliana

Hi, I’m Bryll. My journey with animals began at 15, volunteering at a cat welfare shelter in Melbourne. This soon turned into a job as an animal attendant.

By the age of 18, I had grown into the role of veterinary nurse, and then moved to work in a general practice with a focus on greyhounds and reproduction.

During this period, in 2011, I completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.

“Each team member brings experience, compassion and dedication to supporting animal oral health.”

Hayley

Hi, I’m Hayley, and my love for animals has been a constant throughout my life.

From a young age, I was always drawn to animals, and this passion only grew stronger during my school years.

After graduating, I earned a certificate in animal care and began volunteering with the RSPCA.

As I advanced in my career, I discovered that my passion went beyond just caring for animals; I also loved providing care and compassion to their owners.

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.
