Dental Implant Surgeon La Crescenta CA

Performed by DR Robert Thein - Board-Certified Dental Implant Surgeon

⚠️Implant consultations are focused on surgical evaluation and long-term treatment planning.

Dental implant treatment demands careful judgment, precise surgery, and long-term planning. Dr. Robert Thein provides implant-only care for patients seeking a stable, lasting solution for missing or failing teeth. Each consultation is focused on evaluating function, bone health, and long-term outcomes—not quick fixes.

Dr. Robert Thein, DDS, ABOI, ICOI is a board-certified dental implant surgeon whose practice is devoted exclusively to implant surgery and implant restoration. Unlike general dental practices, Dr. Thein limits his work entirely to implant care, allowing for greater precision, consistency, and predictable long-term results, particularly in complex cases.

Dr. Thein earned his DDS from Boston University and completed advanced surgical training at the Misch Implant Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. His background in full-mouth reconstruction and prosthodontics ensures that surgical decisions are guided by restorative function and long-term stability.

He is board certified by the American Board of Implant Dentistry (ABOI), a distinction held by a small percentage of implant clinicians nationwide and earned through advanced training, documented outcomes, and rigorous examination.

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implant surgery replaces missing teeth with a titanium jaw implant, creating a strong base for a natural-looking crown.

Giving Back

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.

One Saturday a month, he serves at the Kids’ Community Dental Clinic in Burbank. This clinic provides free or reduced cost dental care to needy children. These are mostly immigrant children, some of whom have never seen a dentist.

Then, once a year he and his wife spend two or three weeks in December with the Burmese Medical and Dental Mission. They serve in a remote area of Burma where there are no dentists and no basic medical care. Dr. Thein is originally from Burma and enjoys serving his native people. The area in which they serve has no electricity, meaning that they can provide only the most rudimentary care, but it is very satisfying and the people are very appreciative.
