Email is considered much more informal than even a short note or letter. It is commonplace to just use the persons name or to not even include a salutation in the correspondence. However, courtesy and politeness are never inappropriate. As a sign of respect for your teacher's position I would include the "Dear" salutation and the "Sincerely" closing. And do not worry the the "Dear" sounds overly familiar. It's recognized as a formal means for addressing even a stranger and is no more personal than closing with "besos" is in Spanish.
