Giving Back to the Community
Giving back has always been an important part of Dr Thein’s journey. After years of practising implant dentistry, he made a commitment to support communities in need—both locally and internationally—through dedicated volunteer work. Several years ago, Dr. Thein decided he wanted to give back to the profession that has been so good to him, and he started two volunteer projects, one local and one remote.

Each month, Dr Thein serves at the Kids’ Community Dental Clinic in Burbank, where he provides free or low-cost dental care to underserved children. Many of these young patients come from immigrant families and may be visiting a dentist for the very first time. His goal is to ensure that every child receives compassionate care and a healthier start to life.

In addition to his local efforts, Dr Thein participates in an annual humanitarian mission with the Burmese Medical and Dental Mission. Alongside his wife, he travels to remote regions of Myanmar (Burma), where access to dental and medical care is extremely limited. In these areas—often without electricity or basic infrastructure—he provides essential dental treatments to communities that would otherwise go without care.

Originally from Burma, Dr Thein finds deep personal fulfilment in serving his native country. Despite the challenging conditions, the gratitude and resilience of the people make every effort truly meaningful.

Making a Difference Beyond the Clinic

Dr Thein’s commitment to giving back reflects his belief that quality dental care should be accessible to everyone—regardless of location or circumstances.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Thein’s since 2000, and I can’t recommend him enough. From braces as a teen to wisdom teeth removal and even a gum graft procedure to address my receding gumline, he has consistently provided exceptional care and outstanding results.

Dr. Thein genuinely cares about his patients, takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, and always makes you feel comfortable and well cared for. His attention to detail and quality of work are second to none. After more than two decades as his patient, I can confidently say he’s an incredible dentist and someone I trust completely with my dental care.

Highly recommend! 🦷✨

I left a One Star review for this guy, an uncaring and past his time dentist, and saw two other 1 star legit reviews, but now they are gone ! And there are some fake new reviews from paid companies (you can look and spot them easily). Karma does not fail and deleting bad reviews and paying for fake 5 star reviews is very low and unethical.

I visited Dr. Robert Thein for a tooth issue that required an dental implant, and I was feeling discouraged. He made me feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely cared for. His professionalism and warm personality made the experience reassuring. Highly recommend — 5 stars for Dr. Robert Thein and his team.

Woke up in the morning 2 weeks ago staring at the 6 upper front teeth crowned by Dr. Thein in the mirror, I was speechless. They are seamlessly integrated with impressive mental and physical quality. I know they will stay with me for decade and decade or even a lifetime with proper caring.

I am a septuagenarian who loses most of the molars and have two upper front teeth sadly broken lately. I went to Boston because my neighbors recommended Dr. Thein highly and repeatedly. I already knew he is the one upon my first visit, one I missed in the past. Dr. Thein is more than technical, but academical teaching in UCLA and a classical few qualified dentists in the world.

Thanks Dr. Thein for the comprehensive prepping with imaging technology and meticulous measurements, and performing the installation with dexterity and finesse.

I've received two implants from Dr. Thien. During procedure he used his patented locator for socket implant to avoid nerve damage. Very successful procedure. Annual prophy revealed two cavities. Next day appt availability, drilled and filled. Dr. Then and Adriana are a well oiled machine. I highly and have recommended.
