What
patients are saying...
"I
have been a dental patient of Dr. Thein for the past eleven
years. During that time he has solved a variety of dental
problems for me with skill and sensitivity. The porcelain
veneer he applied to my upper teeth eleven years ago still
looks great! He helped me choose an implant option over conventional
dentures for my lower mouth in 1994. Since that procedure
I have never regretted that decision."

"Dr.
Thein, your work is head and shoulders above any other dentist
I've ever had. You are always up to date on the latest procedures
and I always trust you to make the best choices for me. Thank
You!"
- Cheryl Meyer
"I
would like to thank you for the dental work you've done
for me. I came to see you because I was told that I couldn't
have dental implants to replace my missing teeth because
of a lack of sufficient bone.
But
you were able to do chin and sinus bone grafts to grow
my jaw bone and place the dental implants. I was hesitant
at first, but your kind and gentle bedside manner convinced
me to go ahead with the treatment.
Now
I feel like a new person! I'm no longer self-conscious
and I'm eating whatever I like. The only regret I have
is not seeing you sooner. I would whole heartedly recommend
you
to anyone who is thinking about getting dental implants."
-
G. Ragon
"Dr.
Thein, thank you for taking care of all my dental needs.
Your talent and caring attitude have always made me feel
safe and secure when I have visited you over the past 16
years. I would, and do, recommend you to to anyone who's
looking for the best there is."
-
Mary Ann T.
"The
care I received from Boston Dental Care was outstanding.
Dr. Thein and his Staff are marvelous."
-
Marilyn William
"You
have made me feel so much more than just a patient, and
I thank you for your friendship. Not many people can say
they look forward to going to see the dentist, but I surely
do."
-
Steven Clemmens
"There
could not be a more compassionate assemblage of people!
You all care and it is so evident! After being neglected
by a couple of dentists, I finally came to you Dr. Thein.
Those other dentists wanted to remove a great number of
healthy teeth and replace them with all manner of bridges,
caps, crowns, etc. I was horrified!
When
I came to you crying, you examined me and said 'Don't worry
my dear, we will save every one of your teeth.' No one
could be more grateful than I for your skill, knowledge
and bedside manner. My sincere regards to you and your
staff for being so kind and caring."
-
Sandy Shaw
"Dr.
Thein has completely rebuilt my mouth. From 1999 to 2003
he has worked on a bridge for my front teeth and eight
implants, while removing all the loose teeth in my jaws.
During that time he performed sinus augmentation surgery
to grow bone and several office procedures to place dental
implants into my jaws. Through all the procedures I have
felt no pain and have had the pleasure of being kept fully
apprised of all that was happening along the way. Now I
am able to chew my food with confidence!"
-
Thomas McKegney
"Thank
you so much for your kind and gentle work on my teeth.
I appreciate your patience and determination to make my
visit pleasant."
-
Maggie Lapre
"You
and your staff are the best team! I am completely satisfied."
- Beth
McLain
"Dr.
Thein, I want to thank you for the successful bone graft
that you performed on me to save my teeth. I came to you
with serious gum disease and I was afraid I would loose
my teeth. You suggested the two bone grafts on each side
of my lower gums. The bone graft was a complete success!
My latest teeth cleaning and check up with you showed my
gums have healed well. I can't thank you enough. I would
highly recommend this procedure to anyone. You are definitely
a terrific dentist!"
-
Teresa Hovatich
"Thank
you for handling my case with great skill, sensitivity
and gentleness. My dental implants are doing great!"
