She graduated from USC with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology in 1978, and again with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 1981. Her continued interest in providing quality dental care led her to open her own general dentistry practice in Westlake Village after receiving her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at UCLA in 1995
While at UCLA, Dr. Bianchi received the Southern California Academy of Oral Pathology award for excellence in Pathology. During the course of her study, she conducted research under Dr. Roy Eversole of the Oral Pathology department of UCLA.

Lisa
I am a graduate of Calabasas High School in 1971. I continued my education at Diablo Valley College and decided to pursue a career in Dentistry and become a Registered Dental Assistant. I graduated as Valedictorian of Lawton Dental School in February 1983. I took a few years off to become a full time stay at home Mother for 3 wonderful children. I returned back to my career in 1989. I worked as a Registered Dental Assistant and decided to expand my knowledge into the Dental Front Office. I thoroughly love working in the front office and I am currently working for Dr. Teri Bianchi. I love my job and enjoy coming to work everyday! The best part of my job is our patients. They are all so nice and I love being there for them. People are sometimes uncomfortable coming to the dentist and I pride on helping them coming to ease and be more comfortable coming into our office. We as staff at Dr. Bianchi's office want to take great care of our patients and want to perform only the best quality dentistry for them. This is what Dr. Bianchi and staff are all about.
I appreciate my life and feel blessed everyday for what I have become. My hope and wish is that I can continue on the journey and do the best I can do each and everyday for co-workers, family, friends and myself. I hope you can come and join our office as a patient. You will be very happy you did! The quality dentistry you will receive here will only be the best!
Paris
I am a currently a junior at California State University Northridge, majoring in psychology. I will be graduating in June of 2008. I have been working for Dr. Bianchi since February of this year, part-time. I have known Lisa Callen, the front office manager, for about three years and she happens to be the person who introduced me to Dr. Bianchi and her wonderful staff. I am now working for Dr. Bianchi as her patient coordinator alongside Lisa in the front office. Dr. Bianchi's office is the second dental office I have worked for, and I love being part of her fabulous team!
Christine
I have been in the dental profession for twelve years. My senior year in high school at Plymouth Salem in Michigan I was enrolled in the co-op program. In the morning I had dental assisting class and other classes, in the afternoon I was working at a dental office. After graduating I worked at a dental office in Livonia Michigan. I continued my dental training with dental X-ray certification, bleaching, and endodontics. I worked at this office for eight great years. In 2003 my husband and I relocated to California. I worked for a short period of time at an office in Newbury Park and after a year I found a more perfect fit with Dr. Bianchi and I couldn't be happier. We have a great team of dental professionals and Dr. Bianchi takes great pride in her patients and her work. There is no better feeling for me then giving someone a great smile!
