There is a common application (AADSAS) for most of the US schools (Texas schools and a few others use something else). The essay on there should address the "why you want to be a dentist" question. Some schools will also ask you to write additional essays in a supplemental application. Only 2 of the 7 schools I am applying to right now want a supplemental application at some point; I don't know how common it is across the board.
 
usually the supp app will have a question why do you pick this school. May also ask you to tell the school something about yourself that you wish the adcom to know about.
