Small Animal Dentistry

Rebecca Tucker graduated from the University of Sydney with a BVSc (Hons) in 2007. She was awarded membership of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (MANZCVS) in Small Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery in 2012.

Bec spent her first 7 years in small animal general practice in Port Macquarie and here in Brisbane. It was during this time and through attendance of dental lectures and workshops Bec developed her passion for Veterinary Dentistry. Bec has been working in full-time dental referral practice since 2015.

Bec completed a residency in Veterinary Dentistry in 2018 prior to becoming a Director of Advanced Animal Dentistry. In 2017, Bec took on the role of President of the Dentistry Chapter for the ANZCVS. She has also been an examiner on numerous occasions for veterinarians undertaking examination to obtain membership of the ANZCVS in small animal dentistry. Bec has also organised the scientific program for the dentistry chapter of the ANZCVS annual conference over several years.

Although Bec enjoys all aspects of dentistry and oral surgery, she finds reconstructive procedures such as jaw fracture and trauma repair to be very rewarding.
