Welcome to What I Wish I Knew by Dental Head Start. This is a podcast where we learn from people that have been there, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and have developed into the accomplished dental professionals they are today.

It’s your weekly mentoring session.

Hosted by Dr Cigdem Kipel

There’s no denying that the job hunting scene post-Covid has changed dramatically, and it’s become a new grads’ market. In this episode, we welcome back Dr Cigdem Kipel who sits down with Dr Mitesh Vasant, both of whom are practice owners, to break down the nitty gritty questions graduates should be asking when joining a practice. 

What’s the culture and environment like? How might it influence the treatment you undertake? What’s the mentorship like and what can you bring to the table to contribute to the team? This is a great episode hearing from people sitting on the other side of the interview table, with insightful tips for new grads embarking on their dental journey.


Dr Mitesh Vasant

Dr Mitesh completed dental school at the University of Queensland in 2012. He had an obsession with cosmetic dentistry and providing his patients with long lasting dental treatment in a gentle manner. To help with this he completed several courses both locally and internationally perfecting the art of designing using Digital Smile Design. He uses a Cerec in his Sandstone practice and has spoken as a KOL for Dentsply Sirona so is credibly qualified to share his experiences with fellow clinicians.
