Chips, cracks, worn fillings, and gaps rarely announce themselves politely. They show up as a jolt of sensitivity to cold, a rough edge your tongue keeps finding, or a bite that feels slightly off. Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged teeth so chewing, speaking, and smiling feel normal again.
At Newport Beach Dental Center, Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, and our team build restorative care around keeping as much natural tooth as possible. We welcome Fountain Valley patients at our office roughly 10 miles away, with treatment that is gentle, thorough, and clearly explained.
Achieve your dream smile with cosmetic dentistry and flexible financing that makes transformation affordable.
Restorative care covers a range of treatments, and the right one depends on how much of the tooth is damaged. Some repairs take a single visit, while others unfold over a few appointments, and we tell you which to expect before we begin. These are the services we use most.
When damage is widespread, full mouth reconstruction rebuilds worn or broken teeth as one coordinated plan. If a tooth cannot be saved, our dental implants in Fountain Valley are placed and restored by the same team.
Small problems have a habit of growing quietly, and the national numbers show how common they are.
Decay that starts as a small cavity usually calls for a simple filling. Left alone, it can spread toward the nerve, and the repair can grow into a crown or a root canal. Regular exams let us catch cracks and worn fillings before they hurt, which keeps treatment smaller and easier on your budget.
Biomimetic dentistry restores teeth so they behave like natural ones. Dr. Sharbash chooses materials and techniques that replicate the strength and flexibility of real enamel and dentin, and she removes only the tooth structure that cannot be saved.
That often means a conservative repair in place of a crown. Our guide on how biomimetic dentistry saves teeth explains what that looks like in practice.
When a crown is the right answer, CEREC technology lets us finish it in our office instead of sending impressions to an outside lab.
For busy Fountain Valley patients, one visit instead of two means less time away from work and family. Our same-day crowns and bridges page has more detail.
We start by listening, then we look. Digital X-rays, 3D scans, and intraoral imaging let you see what we see, which makes the conversation about your options clearer and less rushed. We outline your choices in plain language and recommend only what your teeth need.
Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. If you are nervous about treatment, tell us when you book, and we will talk through comfort options before we begin.
Many PPO plans cover part of restorative treatment, and we work with Delta Dental. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins, so the numbers are clear upfront. For costs insurance does not cover, financing is available through CareCredit and Cherry.
Coverage differs from plan to plan, so questions about your benefits are always welcome before you commit to anything.
