According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, tooth decay affects 90% of adults aged 20 to 64, and gum disease affects almost 50% of adults aged 45 to 64.

If you are in the Huntington Beach area and searching for a restorative dentist who takes a conservative approach, Newport Beach Dental Center is your neighbor along the Southern California coastline. Led by Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, our practice brings an advanced level of expertise to every restoration. Dr. Sharbash has earned a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), a distinction held by only 6% of general dentists nationwide. Our philosophy centers on biomimetic dentistry, which means we work to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible rather than defaulting to aggressive treatments.
Restorative dentistry is the branch of dental care focused on repairing, replacing, and rehabilitating teeth compromised by decay, damage, or loss. At Newport Beach Dental Center, we offer a comprehensive menu of restorative services tailored to each patient’s unique situation. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment plan, Dr. Sharbash evaluates your oral health holistically before recommending a course of action.
Our restorative options include:
Custom-crafted caps that restore a tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance. We also offer CEREC same-day crowns, meaning you can walk out with a permanent restoration in a single appointment.
Titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots, topped with a lifelike crown for a permanent, stable solution.
A procedure that removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, relieving pain and saving a tooth that might otherwise need extraction.
Seamlessly matched to your natural enamel, these are placed using biomimetic techniques that preserve healthy tooth structure.
For patients with more widespread concerns, we coordinate multiple treatments to restore overall function and aesthetics.
Achieve your dream smile with cosmetic dentistry and flexible financing that makes transformation affordable.
Traditional restorations have often required removing more tooth structure than necessary to place a crown or filling. Biomimetic dentistry flips that approach by mimicking the natural properties of your enamel and dentin. The result is a restoration that bonds naturally to your tooth, distributes bite forces more evenly, and helps reduce the risk of fracture over time.
For Huntington Beach patients, this means fewer large restorations, less drilling, and a more conservative path to a healthy smile. Dr. Sharbash’s membership in the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry reflects a genuine commitment to this approach, not just a marketing label. You can learn more about this philosophy on our biomimetic dentistry services page.
For many patients, the thought of multiple dental appointments for a single crown is a deterrent. CEREC technology changes that entirely. Using computer-aided design and milling, we can design, fabricate, and place a porcelain crown in one visit. No temporary crown, no second appointment, and no waiting weeks for a lab to return your restoration.
Same-day crowns are ideal for patients with busy schedules, those who feel anxious about prolonged dental treatment, and anyone who simply wants to get back to life in Huntington Beach as quickly as possible. The same-day crowns and bridges page on our website offers a deeper look at how this process works.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they replace both the root and the crown of the tooth. Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place and help preserve the jawbone that would otherwise deteriorate after tooth loss.
At Newport Beach Dental Center, our approach to implant placement is rooted in careful planning and a conservative treatment philosophy. Dr. Sharbash evaluates bone density, gum health, and overall oral health before recommending implants, ensuring each patient is a good candidate and understands the full process.
Restorative dentistry is about function, but that does not mean aesthetics have to take a back seat. Many patients come to us wanting to address a damaged or missing tooth while also improving the overall look of their smile. In those cases, we may recommend a treatment plan that combines restorative procedures with cosmetic options like porcelain veneers or a smile makeover.
Patients with multiple areas of concern throughout their mouth can benefit from a full-mouth reconstruction, a sequenced treatment plan that systematically addresses each tooth or area. This might involve:
Dr. Sharbash takes the time to explain each phase so you always know what to expect and why.
