About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Full-Time Dental Assistant to join our dental team serving in senior outpatient clinics across San Diego and San Marcos. If you’re dependable, compassionate, and ready for a change from the traditional office setting, this could be the perfect fit.

Why This Role Is Different

Looking for a role where your work truly makes a difference? As a traveling Dental Assistant, you’ll bring dental care directly to seniors who often have limited access to dentistry. It’s hands‑on, meaningful work — and you’ll have opportunity to travel to multiple outpatient clinics across San Diego and San Marcos. This is not a high-volume model. We emphasize quality over volume because we are a mission-driven healthcare company.

What You’ll Do

• Assist the dentist chairside for general dentistry
• Set up, break down, and maintain portable dental equipment
• Follow strict sterilization and infection control protocols
• Ensure patients feel comfortable, supported, and informed
• Complete basic documentation, charting and administrative tasks
• Represent CMC with professionalism, compassion, and reliability

Qualifications

• Certified/Registered Dental Assistant (California required)
• Active Radiation Certificate
• 2+ years of Dental Assisting experience preferred
• Strong understanding of OSHA & infection control
• Reliable Transportation and Valid Driver’s License
• Able to lift/transport equipment (25–50 lbs)
• Must pass federal background check + drug screening
• Professional, punctual, and able to work independently
• A heart for serving seniors and underserved communities

What You’ll Get

• $26-$28 / hour + travel reimbursement
• Full-time, consistent schedule — no nights or weekends
• Benefits-eligible role
• A supportive, mission-driven team
• Independence, flexibility, and the chance to make a real impact
• The fulfillment of bringing essential care to those who need it most

If you're a committed Dental Assistant ready to break out of the traditional office setting and be part of something meaningful, we’d love to connect.
