Dr James Cockerill

Originally from the UK, James took an exciting step in his career by relocating to Melbourne, Australia, at the beginning of 2025. With over a decade of experience in both hospital and general practice settings, James is dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care tailored to each individual's health, function, and aesthetic needs.

James graduated from Newcastle University in 2014 and soon after achieved Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. His commitment to professional development has driven him to pursue further education in restorative dentistry, oral surgery, Invisalign orthodontics, and he has achieved a postgraduate certificate and a post graduate diploma in implant dentistry.

James strives to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for his patients while ensuring they receive the highest standard of treatment. Whether addressing routine dental concerns or complex rehabilitative cases, his goal is to enhance smiles and improve overall oral health with a holistic, patient-first approach.

Outside of dentistry James can often be found with a coffee in hand or getting involved in some sport (either participating or spectating). He has recently joined a tennis club and is carefully considering which footy team to support whilst in Melbourne.
