Job description

Dental Assistant — Sacramento, CA

About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is hiring a full-time Dental Assistant to support dental care in a structured, outpatient clinic-based setting in Sacramento, CA.

You'll work as part of an established clinical team inside a community-based clinic serving senior patients. If you're looking for meaningful, mission-driven work with predictable weekday scheduling and real support behind you, this could be a great fit.

The Setting

This is a community-based outpatient clinic, not a mobile route and not a high-volume corporate practice.

• Clinic staff on-site full time
• Organized scheduling and steady patient flow
• Coordinated, team-based care
• Value-based model focused on senior populations

CMC manages equipment, supplies, scheduling, billing, and logistics so the care team can focus entirely on patients.

What You'll Do

• Assist the dentist during exams and procedures
• Prepare treatment rooms and sterilize instruments
• Support patient intake and documentation
• Maintain infection control and sterilization standards
• Take radiographs as directed and within your certification
• Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team

What Makes This Different

Our dental assistants support senior care inside established clinic partnerships as part of a coordinated healthcare team. We emphasize:

• Quality over volume
• Consistent, predictable scheduling
• Full administrative and logistical support
• Long-term clinic partnerships
• Ethical, mission-driven care

Qualifications

• Dental assisting experience required
• Board-approved 8-hour Infection Control course and California Dental Practice Act course (California requirement for unlicensed dental assistants)
• Current BLS/CPR certification
• Board-approved Radiation Safety certificate required to take radiographs
• California RDA license preferred
• Experience with senior or geriatric patients preferred
• Strong organizational and patient communication skills

Schedule

• Monday through Friday
• Typical hours: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
• No nights
• No weekends

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is a family-founded healthcare organization that has been increasing access to care for senior and underserved communities since 1997, now across 31 states.
