Dear Dr.,

I am writing to express my interest in a potential Associate Dentist position. Over the past year, I had the privilege of being a resident in the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at UCSF, an experience that has significantly enriched my skills and knowledge in various facets of general dentistry. This program equipped me with a comprehensive skill set, enabling me to handle complex cases with confidence as well as experience in implant placement and restoration which allows me to offer cutting-edge solutions to patients seeking the best care. I take great pride in delivering high-quality dental work and building lasting relationships with my patients. My approach is rooted in ensuring that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and concerns. I understand the importance of instilling trust and confidence in patients, and I am dedicated to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for all individuals under my care. I am currently looking for an opportunity to be part of a small family-like community. I am eager to contribute my skills and passion to your practice, ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of dental care. I have attached my CV and portfolio to this email, which provides further details about my education, experience, and skills. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with the goals of your practice and contribute to its continued success. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
