Meeting Los Angeles
Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Thein
The first thing you are likely to notice when you come for your initial visit is that you are the only patient scheduled for your time. Dr. Thein sees one patient at a time and will devote his full attention to you while you're here. At your first visit, Dr. Thein will
meet with you privately to discuss any desires or concerns. He is very anxious to learn your needs and preferences, fears, past experiences, budget, and to get to know you. As he moves on to your oral examination, you will find him thorough yet gentle. A
detailed evaluation of your teeth, soft tissues, alignment, bite,
jaw joint and an oral cancer screening will be completed. With your consent, a set of
x-rays will be taken and, if needed, study models of your teeth will be made. All the information obtained will be used to accurately assess your dental health.

When you meet Dr. Thein, you will likely sense several things about him.
The first is his intensity. He is very serious about his work, and it doesn't take patients long to figure this out. He stays with every task he undertakes until it is done perfectly. And he is determined to know as much as possible about everything he does. He is constantly taking courses, staying abreast of the latest in dentistry. You'll be able to tell he knows what he is talking about. |

You will also likely notice the depth of his caring. If you haven't figured that out as you start treatment, you will know it by the time you are done, because after every significant appointment, you will get a phone call from him asking how you are doing. Cindy, his office manager, reveals that patients are continually surprised to get that phone call. "Every day," she says, "every day, he never forgets to follow up." And he is focused on making patients comfortable. "You're not the first patient to be anxious about dental care," he says, trying to put patients at ease. "I've worked on patients like you before." If you need to be sedated, he'll do that. If you just need a gentle hand, he'll do that. Whatever it takes to make you comfortable. |

The third thing that comes through is his honesty. "He takes them into the consultation room," Cindy explains, "and they just know he's being honest with them." He presents your options, and then the decision is yours. And if what you want ends up not being the ideal treatment, he will respect your choice and not try to pressure you into something more expensive.
What motivates Dr. Thein? Cindy says he wants a long-term and trusting relationship with every patient. And how do patients feel after their first encounter with the office? They regret that it took so long to find him.
Susan's Story
To give you an idea of what it is like as a patient of Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Thein, it may be best to tell the story of one of his patients.

Susan's teeth had been deteriorating and she had lost confidence in her old dentist. She was suffering from a crumbling teeth, she had TMJ pain, her jaw would sometimes lock open, and she was very self-conscious about her appearance. She didn't want to smile. "I hate my short yellow teeth, my gold caps and patched-up porcelain crowns," she told Dr. Thein. |

Her examination showed that she had a collapsed bite. That condition, coupled with her desire to replace her existing unattractive porcelain crowns, led Dr. Thein to recommend a full-mouth reconstruction for Susan. She knew that she had been grinding her teeth down for years, and wanted the very best care available, so she decided to go ahead with that treatment.
Dentists don't graduate from dental school knowing how to do a full-mouth reconstruction, nor do they know how to do a smile makeover. But Dr. Thein has extensive training in occlusion and complex reconstruction at the respected Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Education in Florida. He also has a cosmetic dentistry residency at UCLA with Dr. Bruce Crispin, and advanced cosmetic dentistry training at Loma Linda University with Dr. James Dunn. Read more about his credentials on the About Dr. Thein page.
Here are the gorgeous results:

To make sure that Susan would be pleased with the result, Dr. Thein started by discussing various smile designs with her, using a special smile design book. Then, once he began the smile makeover, he created a prototype of the smile design in acrylic that she was able to wear as temporaries. Wearing the temporaries helped her know that she would love the new smile.

As mentioned above, Susan's smile is done with all-porcelain crowns. When advanced bonding technology is used, the porcelain can
be bonded directly to the teeth without having to rely on a metal foundation. When metal is used, an opaquer also has to be used to block out the color of the metal. The opaquer spoils the natural translucency of the porcelain. It will also create a dark line at the gumline. If you look closely at the "before" photograph of her smile, you can see this dark line on her back teeth. Because of Dr. Thein's training with this bonding technology, he was able to create this beautiful, naturally translucent result with all-porcelain crowns.
She was amazed with the outcome. "I am so delighted," she says. "I had no idea that what he could do would make so much of a difference, not just in how I feel but in how I look.
People tell me, 'You look really good for your age,' but they can't quite figure out what it is. What Dr. Thein has done knocked years off my appearance. And
I had to re-learn how to smile. I didn't realize how self-conscious I was about my crooked smile. It wasn't until it was fixed that I could see, 'Wow, this is a whole new world here!'" |
