Cosmetic dentistry made affordable with payment plans
Costa Mesa is home to South Coast Plaza, the OC Fair & Event Center, and a community that expects the same level of quality in its dental care as it does everywhere else. Whether you need routine checkups or general and cosmetic dentistry, choosing a dentist who pairs advanced technology with genuine, personalized attention shapes how your care actually feels.
At Newport Beach Dental Center, Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, has built a practice around two things many Costa Mesa patients are surprised to find under one roof: a biomimetic, minimally invasive approach to restorative dentistry, and an advanced credential in dental sleep medicine. As a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, she treats both the teeth in front of her and the airway behind them.

Costa Mesa families and professionals choose Newport Beach Dental Center because the practice treats clinical excellence and patient comfort as equally important. Dr. Sharbash holds Diplomate status with the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, a credential that goes well beyond what most general dentists pursue. It means she can evaluate not just your smile, but the sleep-related breathing issues that affect your overall health, and coordinate appropriate care when an oral appliance is the right fit.
That same conservative philosophy carries into restorative work through biomimetic dentistry, which uses materials and techniques designed to mimic the natural properties of your teeth. According to the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry, this approach can reduce the need for root canals and crowns by preserving more of your original tooth structure. Rather than defaulting to the most aggressive option, Dr. Sharbash evaluates each case individually and recommends the least invasive path that still gets you a lasting result.
Newport Beach Dental Center offers comprehensive care across both the cosmetic and restorative sides of dentistry. For patients seeking aesthetic improvements, the practice provides:
For patients managing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible candidates, and can be fitted and managed right here rather than requiring a separate referral for every adjustment.
Newport Beach Dental Center utilizes clear aligners with ProMonitoring technology, an FDA-cleared, AI-driven platform that gives Dr. Sharbash digital oversight at every aligner change. Issues get caught and addressed before they turn into a refinement. The American Association of Orthodontists notes that most patients wear clear aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene.
Preventive care is the foundation everything else is built on. Dr. Sharbash’s approach to general dentistry emphasizes catching problems early, which helps you avoid more extensive treatment later. Regular exams allow cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer to be identified at their earliest, most treatable stages.
The practice provides comprehensive hygiene services, including professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. Patients with dental anxiety have sedation options available, and digital X-rays cut radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film while still giving Dr. Sharbash the immediate, detailed images she needs for an accurate diagnosis.
Most dentists who treat sleep apnea have completed a weekend course. Dr. Sharbash’s Diplomate certification with the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine is a meaningfully higher bar, representing extensive case review and testing beyond standard continuing education. The American Dental Association notes that custom-fitted oral appliances can stabilize the mandible and help prevent the airway collapse that drives obstructive sleep apnea, which is exactly the kind of treatment this level of training is built to deliver well.
Her FAGD status reflects a similar commitment on the general dentistry side. Achieving Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry requires extensive continuing education and a rigorous exam, and it means Costa Mesa patients benefit from current, evidence-based techniques rather than whatever a dentist happened to learn in school.
Newport Beach Dental Center works with various insurance plans to keep quality dental care accessible to Costa Mesa residents. The practice accepts PPO insurance plans and maintains in-network status with Delta Dental. The team verifies your benefits and explains costs upfront so you can make an informed decision before any treatment begins.
For costs not fully covered by insurance, flexible payment options through CareCredit and Cherry financing let you spread treatment costs over manageable monthly payments, so comprehensive care stays achievable regardless of your coverage.
It can cost more upfront than a basic filling, but because it preserves more of your natural tooth, it often reduces the odds of needing a root canal or crown down the line. Dr. Sharbash will walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific tooth before recommending a path.
Loud, frequent snoring combined with daytime fatigue, morning headaches, or a partner noticing pauses in your breathing are common signs worth discussing. Dr. Sharbash can screen for airway and jaw structure issues during a regular visit and refer you for a sleep study if warranted.
It depends on your diagnosis and what your physician recommends. Oral appliance therapy is often used for mild to moderate OSA or for patients who can’t tolerate CPAP, but it’s typically coordinated with a sleep physician rather than something a dentist prescribes independently.
Treatment length varies by case, but most patients complete their aligner journey in several months to about a year. The ProMonitoring platform lets Dr. Sharbash track your progress remotely between visits, which can help catch issues before they add time to your treatment.
