Dr. Lachlan Hearn’s Story


My name is Lachlan Hearn. I am a recent graduate from Griffith University. I graduated last year and am now part of the Kikada Dental Graduate Program. I decided to join Kikada Dental because they were specifically looking for a new graduate. I felt that they would be aware of the challenges associated with transitioning from university to full-time work and be more willing to offer support, unlike a clinic that wanted experienced dentists and wouldn’t provide much help.

Since joining, my experience has been very pleasant. My main fear was not having enough support, but it’s been completely the opposite at Kikada Dental. I feel really supported by the senior clinicians here, not only with clinic life but also outside of work. My schedule has been managed well, exactly as I asked for, and my days are very busy and full.

During appointments, if I’m ever unsure about what to do, the other clinicians have an open-door policy. I can ask them questions about x-rays, photos, and the best course of action. I never feel stuck during tricky cases. Once a month, all Kikada Dental clinicians come together for meetings where we discuss cases. I find it particularly beneficial to hear the senior clinicians talk about their cases. I can learn and pick up new techniques that I wouldn’t have thought of myself, which helps me better manage my patients.

For any new graduates worried about receiving support and mentorship and wanting a team that really cares about you, I would highly recommend joining Kikada Dental. I feel very supported here, and I know that with the help of the senior clinicians, my patients are receiving the best treatment possible.

For anyone considering joining Kikada Dental as a graduate, I strongly recommend it if you’re interested in support from the senior clinicians and the whole team, modern equipment like intraoral scanners, a clear career pathway from a junior dentist to a leader, and providing high-quality treatment for your patients.
