What to Expect During Your Consultation

Implant consultations are centred on thorough surgical evaluation, bone structure analysis, and customised long-term treatment planning to ensure the best possible results for every patient.

Dental implant treatment requires precision, experience, and a long-term vision for oral health. Dr Robert Thein focuses exclusively on implant dentistry, helping patients achieve stable, natural-looking solutions for missing or failing teeth. Every consultation is designed to assess function, bone health, and long-term outcomes carefully—never quick fixes.

Dr. Robert Thein DDS, ABOI, ICOI, is a board-certified dental implant surgeon dedicated solely to implant surgery and restoration. By limiting his practice to implant care, he delivers a higher level of precision, consistency, and predictable results—especially in complex cases that require advanced expertise.

Dr Thein earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Boston University and completed advanced surgical training at the renowned Misch Implant Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. His expertise in full-mouth reconstruction and prosthodontics ensures that both surgical excellence and long-term functional success guide every treatment plan.

He is board-certified by the American Board of Implant Dentistry (ABOI), a distinction achieved by only a select group of implant specialists nationwide through rigorous training, proven clinical outcomes, and comprehensive examination.

What Patients Ask About Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements made of titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone to support artificial teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

The cost of dental implants in California typically ranges between $3,000 and $6,000 per tooth, depending on the complexity of the procedure and additional treatments required.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. With modern anaesthesia and advanced techniques, the process is safe and relatively pain-free.

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.
