Subject: Application for the dental assistant position
Dear Dr Rossier,
Your practice is looking for a dental assistant to join its team. I have worked chairside for five years and particularly enjoy assisting with implants, one of your specialties.
With a federal certificate as a dental assistant and an X-ray qualification, I work at Cabinet dentaire de la Place with two dentists. I assist with restorative and surgical treatment, take X-rays, run sterilisation to current standards and manage the diary and billing.
Your practice, known for its care of anxious patients, matches the way I work.
I am available from 1 March and would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Elodie Schaller
