A True Family Practice

Tuttle Dental Care is where Dr. Caroline Tuttle grew up. Her father, Dr. Timothy J. Tuttle, founded our practice in 1987 out of their family home. Along with her team, Dr. Caroline gets to continue the family legacy of delivering a true family practice experience—while also keeping her eye on the future with advancements in dentistry.

Meet Dr. Caroline Tuttle

“Family practice doesn’t mean a thing unless you actually treat people like family… and that’s what we’re passionate about doing with every person who trusts us with their care.”

Dr. Caroline grew up around dentistry. Her father, Dr. Tuttle, started his dental practice in their home when Dr. Caroline was a child, and she learned how to treat patients by watching him. She shares her father’s sense of humor and ability to keep things loose so patients always feel relaxed. She’s a big believer in open communication, always explaining what’s happening during each appointment to keep patients informed and at ease.

Although Dr. Caroline would occasionally help out at her father’s dental office from the time she was in eighth grade, she didn’t plan to be a dentist at that point. She just loved hanging out with her dad. Not only was he her first soccer coach, but she chose to attend Lafayette College to play Division 1 Soccer so that it was close enough for him to still watch every game.

After earning a B.S. degree in Psychology with a Minor in Economics, she worked in marketing for a few years prior to finding her true passion in dentistry. She completed her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, followed by her General Practice Residency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. After starting in private practice, Dr. Caroline also completed a 2 year Implant Maxicourse at NYU to become proficient in the placement and restoration of dental implants. After completing that coursework she became a fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Dr. Caroline also served on the New Jersey Board of the Academy of General Dentistry for 3 years prior to starting her family. Continuing Education is one of Dr. Caroline's favorite parts of being a dentist. She loves to learn all the ways to better herself and the patient experience.

Dr. Caroline's passion in dentistry surrounds Full Smile Transformations, such as Smile Makeovers and Dental Implant Supported Tooth Replacement Surgery and Restorations. She's utilized technology throughout her practice to ensure her patients are getting the best quality outcomes and experiences that dentistry has to offer today.

While Dr. C loves learning and implementing new techniques and technology into her practice, she also loves spending time with her beautiful family. They recently welcomed twins, a baby boy and girl, in the early fall of 2022. Becoming a mother is her greatest life event so far, and she is so thankful that she can share her love of dentistry with her family as her children get older, just like her father did with her at a young age.

Meet Dr. Shreena Patel

“It took me 11 years in private practice to finally find a place where I could serve that shared my values for really making a difference in people’s lives. Every day feels like home here and I think every patient has that same welcome-home experience.”

Since the age of 12, Dr. Patel wanted to be a dentist. She even worked as a dental assistant during high school. That experience fueled her passion to make a difference in people’s lives through dentistry.

Her quest to be a dentist began by graduating from The University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in Biology. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. After dental school, she completed her General Practice Residency at University Hospital in Newark.

Dr. Patel finds great joy in helping patients overcome their fear of the dentist. Whether it was because of bad experiences as a child or because they have anxiety, she has a way of making patients feel comfortable and actually enjoy their visit.

She loves spending time with her three boys and her family. She also likes traveling to different countries, sampling different cuisines, and watching concerts, comedy shows, and Broadway plays.
