Dental Assistant Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently read about your team at [Company Name] and noticed the emphasis you place on patient comfort and efficient chairside work. In my current role I helped run smooth patient preps and instrument exchanges for a busy practice, with a goal of turning over rooms quickly while keeping everything spotless. On a typical day I support four to six patients and double check X-ray files and sterilisation logs to avoid delays between appointments. My background covers infection control and sterilisation, suction and water spray operations, and basic reception tasks. I’m comfortable handling dental materials preparation and small post-operative guidance, and I keep the front desk moving by handling simple billing and clerical tasks when the team needs it. I’ve learned to balance precise chairside duties with clear, calm communication to patients who may be anxious. In a recent shift at [Previous Company], I noticed our sterilisation area was taking longer than it should after a busy morning. I reorganised the workflow, trained two colleagues on a quick-change tray system, and we significantly improved turnaround times between patients. The dentist appreciated seeing fewer instrument delays and the team reported less stress during peak periods. I’d value the chance to discuss how my practical experience and steady approach could support your practice. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can provide references. Kind regards, [Your Name]
