Bianco Richard J, DMD

Dr. Bianco has been my dentist for a few years now. I have seen him at both offices. The hygienists do a great job and have kept my family’s teeth healthy. I have needed a couple of fillings, a couple of crowns and a root canal. Dr. Bianco is exceptionally good at his work. He makes sure you are numb and there is no pain. No other dentist has been able to do that for me. I’m very happy with the staff at both offices. Wait time has been minimal and appointments were at a convenient time. I will give them 5 stars because in 53 years, it’s the best dentist office I have been.

Success is on its way. My confidence and remarks are outstanding. Thank you Dr. Bianco and team!

I am so grateful to have found a truly amazing dentist with an exceptional team of professionals after relocating to the Central Coast. From my very first visit I was greeted with a considerate and caring staff who took the time to communicate what they were doing and go over a treatment plan in a non-​intimidating manner. Furthermore, the day after having some dental work done, I received a call from Dr. Bianco to see how I was doing, which was a welcome surprise. I highly recommend Dr. Bianco and his team of professionals to anyone looking for quality dental care with a family environment. Laura N.

After 50+ years of having very crooked ugly and discolored teeth I now have the most beautiful smile I could have ever imagined. Dr. Bianco is a very professional, and meticulous artist. He was extremely considerate, kind and gentle, as were his entire staff. The cohesiveness of the entire team speaks volumes to the quality of the individuals and the level of service they provide. This was by far the BEST dental experience I have ever had and will only leave the care of my beautiful teeth to the expertise of Dr. Bianco and his «A» team in the Watsonville office!!! Forever smiling ;) Anai-​i A.

I think Dr Bianco is the best dentist I have ever had. I was so SHOCKED when he called me the next day to check up on me after a procedure. His work is meticulous his prices are fair. Everyone in the office is truly a gem. His assistant (is that what her title is? Im not sure) is this wonderful lady who is so caring and truly does her best to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. Denise, at the front desk is always so cheerful and pleasant to speak to, before going to Dr Bianco I dreaded going to the dentist. but somehow he makes it fun! Isn’t that an almost impossible task?
My tooth was hurting me and I needed it extracted (it was a back tooth) and they were so kind and accommodating they fit me into Dr Bianco’s busy schedule without a problem. Recently, I had a cap placed over a root canal, Dr Bianco himself took the time to call me and check up on me. who does that anymore?! But he TRULY cares about his patiences and his work thats why he takes the time to do it!
My husband and I joke around that if we hit the lotto we are going to hire the Dr to be our personal live-​in dentist because not only is he an expert at his job but he is truly a wonderful person too!

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Bianco and his staff. He has done extensive work on my teeth and I am very satisfied. I travel ²¹⁄₂ hours to come to see him, that should say something in itself. I had my teeth straightened, crowns, and then had cosmetic work done. It has been a costly journey but I now have a smile that I am not ashamed of. For many years I would smile with my lips closed or put my hand over my mouth. His staff is fabulous. Denise, the office manager is very friendly and helpful. Juana, his dental assistant is so kind and helps you to be calm. She is always very concerned and helpful on how to care for your teeth. And of course Dr. Bianco himself is concerned if he is hurting you. I am hyper sensitive to pain and they both helped me get through this process without hating to go. Thanks to ALL of you for my happy smile…

I have been going to Dr. Bianco for over 10 years. He has cured me of my Dentist phobia with his gentle and caring professionalism. He makes me feel safe and is always asking if I am ok. I love his staff, especially his office manager, Denise, she calls with appointment reminders and gives me written estimates of what my out of pocket costs will be. I have such great trust in Dr. Bianco, I am now taking my teenage daughter to him to ensure she never has to suffer with Dentist phobia like I did before Dr. Bianco became my Dentist.

Dr. Bianco and his entire staff are courteous and friendly. Dr. Bianco is soft spoken, and caring. He does good work, and calls personally the next day to ensure there were no difficulties encountered. I have had his sedation dentistry on two occasions and I highly recommend it if you have ever had a bad experience from other dentistry or are dental phobic. I was able to awaken after many dental procedures performed with great results, with no side affects. This office shows care, expertise and compassion and I highly recommend Dr. Richard Bianco’s services.

I came to Dr Bianco’s office because I had recently acquired heath and dental insurance through Blue Shield. After looking on Unilocal!for reviews my husband and I decided to give Dr Bianco a try.
I went first and had 4 gum line fillings done. After leaving the office I discovered my teeth were not at all polished enough and as a result felt very dirty all the time and I’m sure were, because of the rough surface. I also discovered that 3 of the 4 fillings were not even to the gum line and very sensitive. This work took Dr. Bianco not more than 45 minutes.
When I went back to have the work corrected Dr Bianco again seemed in a rush to first find out what I was talking about and seemed un able to understand how to polish my teeth to the same smoothness as a natural tooth. Isn’t that fairly basic?
He also told his assistant that he was going to put some sort of adhesive at my gum line (not composite) as a «quick fix». This was very sensitive afterwards and now six months later is still not right… not to mention the rough surface still on that tooth.
I was so uncomfortable with the way he handled our conversation and his solution to that first attempt at fixing his work that I had to get out of his chair with the other two fillings still needing correction.
I have wanted to go back because my insurance paid several hundred dollars and I will be out of pocket $ 150, but honestly I don’t feel at all safe in this dentist’s «care».
It’s a shame Dr Bianco could not have done the work well the first time, or the second! He is losing out on two good clients and certainly a good reputation in my opinion.
I understand things sometimes need to be revisited. It’s how you handle making it right at that point that counts. Needless to say I am so disappointed and afraid to go back that I am willing to pay someone else to fix his work.

Dr. Bianco and his staff have been consistently pleasant, reasonably priced, and professional for both myself and my partner. Whereas my last awful dentist claimed I had five cavities but wouldn’t explain where, Dr. Bianco showed me the TWO cavities that I have, and is charging me the same rate that I would pay if I had insurance (rather than the inflated amount I should be paying).
Nobody looks forward to spending money on their teeth, but with Dr. Bianco I feel like the money is going towards prevention of further dental drama down the line. And really, what more could you ask at very reasonable cost?

Dr. Bianco has provided a wide range of dental services for me ranging from routine dental care to sedation surgery for restoration work. My cosmetic surgery included a few implants and veneers under his care. The results were awesome. I used sedation dentistry for some of the major work and I don’t remember a thing. His pain management for regular surgery was also effective. His hygienist are helpful, gentle and thorough. I have visited his Monterey office and his Salinas office. His staff in both locations are personable and friendly. I have had no billing problems and I get a good estimate of what will be covered out of pocket and by insurance. If you like to be treated like a person then Dr. Bianco is among the best and he also has a good sense of humor.
