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 for many years. I've never been a fan of dentist visits and he's been absolutely wonderful. He is kind, gentle, patient and thorough. I highly recommend him and his hygienist, Adriana - she is wonderful as well!

I first saw Dr Thein in March of 2007 on the recommendation of a close friend who had a complex implant procedure performed by Dr Thein. I am an older patient and very experienced from a lifetime of dental providers. Over the years Dr Thein has performed exceptional work for me in a highly professional, meticulous and caring fashion. He creates a stress and pain free environment while maintaining the highest caliber of professionalism. Also of great importance to me is how he remains current on all the latest advances and techniques, in a field where I'm afraid "implant cowboys" are all too prevalent.
I highly recommend going to Dr Thein

Dr. Robert Thein is truly an exceptional implant dentist. He has an incredible eye for creating beautiful, natural-looking smiles that never appear artificial or overdone. His skill, attention to detail, and professionalism are outstanding, and he genuinely cares about achieving the best possible results for his patients.

The entire staff is equally impressive — knowledgeable, kind, welcoming, and always willing to answer questions and make patients feel comfortable throughout the process. From start to finish, the experience is professional and caring.

I highly recommend Dr. Thein and his team to anyone considering dental implants or cosmetic dental work. If you want excellent care and a natural-looking smile, this is the place to go.
Dr Thein helped me by removing my infected molar and then eventually placing a dental implant and crown. He makes you feel comfortable by his great bed side manner. He jokes with you so you forget about the procedure. I also want to thank his dental assistant Adriana for her help so things move smoothly. I am very appreciative of Dr Thein. I highly recommend him.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Thein and his wonderful assistant Adriana. Dr. Thein is incredibly kind and professional, and every visit I feel completely at ease and comfortable, almost like being at home. Adriana is also amazing—very gentle, patient, and caring.
Their office is always very clean and they use high-end, modern equipment that makes procedures easier and more comfortable.
I’m especially happy with my dental implant. I often hear people talk about pain or complications after implants, but with Dr. Thein I had absolutely no problems at all. Everything went smoothly.
I actually look forward to going to my dental appointments there. Highly recommend Dr. Thein and his team!
