Pet Dental SurgeryServing Monmouth & Ocean County Pets

When your pet has a broken tooth or other dental emergency, you need a veterinarian that can relieve pain and correct the problem. True Care Veterinary Hospital offers advanced dental procedures for pet patients.

Pet dental surgery requires the skill, training, and modern technology available at True Care. Pre-anesthesia testing and laboratory work are performed prior to every dental procedure, and your pet is closely monitored from the initiation of anesthesia through full recovery.

We offer high-resolution digital dental X-rays for accuracy in diagnosing current and developing problems. And, as with any surgery, pain management is initiated during and after dental surgical procedures as appropriate, for optimum healing and compassionate care.

For teeth cleaning under anesthesia, high-speed instruments similar to human dentistry are used to remove plaque from the teeth and polish enamel. In addition, we offer more advanced veterinary dental procedures such as tooth extractions and oral surgery. State-of-the-art technology and advanced training ensure your pet receives the safest experience available in pet dental care and surgical services.

True Care Veterinary Hospital maintains the highest standards in pet dental care.

When my parents’ dog Kya died very suddenly a few years ago‚ their regular vet was not at work that day. But thankfully‚ Dr. Tullio was and treated my parents and their dog as if he was their doctor for the past 15 years—doing everything he could to try and revive Kya and by being so compassionate to my parents in the waiting room after having to deliver the sad news. We truly can’t say enough nice things about Dr. Tullio and can’t wait for him to open his new facility! Thank you.

Doctor Tullio is a kind, caring gentleman who has cared for my cocker spaniels for many years now. He has always been helpful‚ honest‚ and understanding with my pets and me. He is a man I trust completely and have and do refer others to him. Any pet owner can feel safe and secure in trusting their beloved pets to his skilled hands.

Molly and Oscar have been patients of Dr. Tullio for several years. I have been very pleased with his care‚ his expertise‚ and his understanding with my two Wheatens. Dr. Tullio has been quick to diagnose any issues and remedy all of the problems we’ve had. I look forward to many more years working with Dr. Tullio. I wish him well in his venture.

Dr. Tullio has always treated our dogs with great knowledge‚ care‚ and compassion‚ and we have grown to know him quite well. We have been so completely impressed with Dr. Tullio’s consistent excellence in care and services that we wanted to share our experience with others. We are pleased to recommend as the place to go for both quality treatment and compassionate care for your furry family members.
