We listen
If you're visiting our Wendouree clinic for the first time, we'd like you to bring along an OPG x-ray. We can refer you to a nearby clinic when you book your appointment, where your x-ray can be bulk billed to Medicare. This helps our dentists to diagnose any oral health problems you might have and to plan effective treatments.
We love living and working in our local community and meeting people from all walks of life. To make an appointment at Bupa Dental Ballarat, call our friendly team on (03) 5339 3770 or drop into our clinic from Monday to Friday.

Dentists
Dr Jeremy Schocroft
Dr Jeremy Schocroft
Our principal dentist, Dr Jeremy Schocroft is a devoted, caring professional who knew from a young age that dentistry was his calling. “I’ve always wanted to help people, and I like working with my hands,” he explains. “Dentistry combines those things.”
He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Adelaide University in 1981 and has been building a wide variety of professional experience ever since.
Dr Schocroft heavily emphasises preventive dentistry and helping people understand the importance of their oral health. He’s also interested in treating jaw and joint disorders, root canal therapy, crowns and other restorations, laser dentistry, periodontal care and orthodontics. Along with looking after people’s oral health, Dr Schocroft is passionate about teaching and guiding clinicians who are new to dentistry. His commitment to continued learning means you can find him still attending various courses and lectures (or leading the lectures himself).
Dr Schocroft enjoys competitive snow skiing and has even worked as a ski instructor. He also enjoys spending time at church, at the Rotary Club of Wendouree Breakfast, and of course with his lovely wife and two children.
