Robert Thein, DDS, ABOI, ICOI is a board-certified dental implant surgeon whose practice is dedicated exclusively to dental implant surgery and implant restoration. Unlike general dentists who place implants as part of a broader scope of care, Dr. Thein focuses entirely on implant dentistry—nothing else. This singular focus allows for a level of precision, consistency, and long-term predictability that is difficult to achieve in a mixed practice.
Dr. Thein received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Boston University and completed advanced postgraduate surgical training at the Misch Implant Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. His education also includes extensive training in full-mouth reconstruction and prosthodontics, giving him a deep understanding of both the surgical and restorative demands of complex implant cases.

Meet Dr. Thein

He is board certified by the American Board of Implant Dentistry (ABOI), a credential earned by only a small percentage of implant clinicians nationwide. This distinction reflects advanced training, documented clinical outcomes, and successful completion of a rigorous examination process.

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.
