Dear Dr Kerr
Application for Associate Dentist
I am applying for the associate post at Greystone Dental Practice. I am a GDC-registered dentist with three years as an associate in a mixed NHS and private practice since finishing dental foundation training in 2023.
I see about 30 patients a day on an NHS contract and have built a private list in composite bonding and clear aligners, planning each case with photographs and written consent. Root canal treatment is the work I enjoy most: I treat molars routinely and refer only the most complex cases.
Last year I led an audit of our radiographs that cut retakes from 9% to 3% across the practice, and I support our two trainee dental nurses. Your practice takes endodontic referrals from other dentists, which is why I am writing to you in particular.
I have 46 verifiable CPD hours in my current cycle, including a molar endodontics course in 2025. My CV is attached, and I would be glad to visit the practice.
Yours sincerely
Farah Siddiqui
Fictional letter from Farah Siddiqui, the applicant in the dentist CV example. Every person and employer in it is invented.
Why each paragraph is there
I am applying for the associate post at Greystone Dental Practice. I am a GDC-registered dentist with three years as an associate in a mixed NHS and private practice since finishing dental foundation training in 2023.
The post, your registration and your experience in two sentences.
I see about 30 patients a day on an NHS contract and have built a private list in composite bonding and clear aligners, planning each case with photographs and written consent. Root canal treatment is the work I enjoy most: I treat molars routinely and refer only the most complex cases.
Your list, and the work you want more of.
Last year I led an audit of our radiographs that cut retakes from 9% to 3% across the practice, and I support our two trainee dental nurses. Your practice takes endodontic referrals from other dentists, which is why I am writing to you in particular.
One result you led, then why this practice.
I have 46 verifiable CPD hours in my current cycle, including a molar endodontics course in 2025. My CV is attached, and I would be glad to visit the practice.
CPD, then the CV and an offer to visit.
