Our Services

Dr. Thein provides a wide variety of services including general, implant, and cosmetic dentistry.

Sedation Dentistry

For anxious patients we offer both oral and i.v. sedation options. You probably won’t even remember your appointment.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Because it doesn’t require attachment to any other teeth, a dental implant is the most conservative tooth replacement restoration.

Porcelain Crowns

New technology enables Dr. Thein to provide metal-free ceramic crowns that look exactly like natural teeth.

Dental Emergencies

If you’re in pain or have any other emergency situation, we will see you today. We make allowances in our schedule to accommodate emergencies.

Smile Makeovers

Dr. Thein is trained in smile makeovers, with residencies in cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontics at Esthetic Professionals in Tarzana, California.

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.
