A chipped tooth, a worn-down crown, or a gap left behind by a missing tooth can affect more than just how you smile. Over time, untreated dental damage can lead to shifting teeth, difficulty chewing, and even changes in your jaw structure. Whether you are dealing with a single compromised tooth or several teeth in need of repair, restorative dentistry provides the tools to bring both function and appearance back into balance. The good news is that modern restorative care has come a long way, and effective treatment is closer than you might think.
At Newport Beach Dental Center, we offer restorative dentistry services for patients throughout the Corona del Mar area. Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, takes a conservative, biomimetic approach to care, which means we work to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while delivering durable, lasting results. Our goal is to help you enjoy a fully functioning, comfortable smile without resorting to more invasive treatment than your situation requires. If you are exploring your options for repairing or replacing damaged teeth, our areas we serve page offers a full overview of the communities we care for throughout Orange County.

Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and rebuilding teeth that have been damaged, decayed, or lost. It covers a broad range of conditions, from minor chips and cavities to more significant structural damage affecting multiple teeth. It has been found that tooth decay affects a significant portion of adults in the United States, making restorative care one of the most commonly needed dental services.
The right restorative approach depends on the nature and extent of the damage. A small area of decay may call for a tooth-colored filling, while a tooth that has been significantly weakened might benefit from a dental crown to restore its shape and strength. We take time to evaluate each patient’s individual needs and discuss all available options before moving forward with any treatment plan.
Our approach at Newport Beach Dental Center is rooted in biomimetic dentistry, a philosophy centered on restoring teeth in a way that closely mimics the natural structure and mechanics of healthy enamel and dentin. Rather than removing more tooth structure than necessary, we use materials and techniques that bond directly to your natural tooth, reducing the likelihood of fractures and the need for future intervention.
This conservative mindset guides every restorative procedure we offer. Whether we are placing a same-day restoration or planning a more involved treatment, the priority is always to protect what you have while restoring what has been lost. Patients from Corona del Mar appreciate having access to a practice that takes a thoughtful, measured approach rather than defaulting to the most aggressive path.
We offer several different treatments that help with our patients’ restorative dental care. These include the following:
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile tools in restorative dentistry, used to cap and protect a tooth that is cracked, severely decayed, or following a root canal. When one or more teeth are missing, a dental bridge can fill the gap by anchoring a prosthetic tooth to the surrounding healthy teeth. Both options are designed to blend naturally with your smile in terms of color, shape, and size.
We offer same-day crown and bridge solutions for patients who prefer to complete their restoration in a single visit. This convenience is particularly helpful for those traveling from Corona del Mar who want to minimize time away from work and daily routines.
For patients missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a long-term solution that closely replicates the look and function of a natural tooth. An implant consists of a titanium post placed in the jawbone, which integrates with the surrounding bone over time, followed by a custom-designed crown placed on top. Implants help preserve jawbone density, support proper bite alignment, and eliminate the need for removable appliances.
We work with each patient to determine whether implants are the right fit based on bone density, overall oral health, and personal goals. Many patients from the Corona del Mar community find implants to be a reliable, comfortable choice for long-term tooth replacement.
For patients dealing with widespread dental damage affecting multiple teeth, a full-mouth reconstruction may be the most appropriate path. This involves coordinating several restorative procedures to address function, comfort, and appearance throughout the entire mouth. The process is carefully planned and phased to keep each step manageable and predictable.
Our restorative dentistry services are built around your specific situation, and we take as much time as needed during the consultation phase to make sure you have a clear picture of the recommended treatment and expected outcomes.
Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, brings a comprehensive background in general and restorative care to every patient she sees, including a Fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry, a distinction earned by fewer than 6 percent of general dentists in the United States. Her commitment to minimally invasive, patient-centered treatment means Corona del Mar residents have access to high-quality restorative care without having to travel far. You can learn more about her background and approach on her provider profile.
