Laguna Beach draws artists, collectors, and people who think carefully about quality — and that same standard tends to show up in how residents approach their dental care. Cosmetic dentistry in this market has a higher bar than most. Patients want results that look natural, a dentist who leads with the least invasive option, and a practice that doesn’t treat every smile concern as an opportunity for a full makeover. At Newport Beach Dental Center, Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, brings exactly that approach to cosmetic dentistry for Laguna Beach patients — combining advanced aesthetic technique with a biomimetic, conservative philosophy that preserves as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Dr. Sharbash is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, placing her in the top 6% of general dentists nationally. That credential reflects over 500 hours of documented continuing education and a comprehensive examination — a standard that goes well beyond a typical cosmetic dentistry certification. Newport Beach Dental Center is a straightforward drive from Laguna Beach via Pacific Coast Highway, and welcomes new cosmetic patients from throughout Orange County.

Most cosmetic dental practices lead with the most transformative — and most invasive — options first. Dr. Sharbash leads with the least. Before recommending veneers, she evaluates whether Bioclear bonding can achieve a comparable result without touching healthy enamel. Before recommending orthodontic treatment, she assesses whether targeted cosmetic work addresses the actual concern. This conservative-first philosophy is rooted in her biomimetic training: use materials and techniques that mimic the natural properties of your teeth, and treat only what needs treating.
For Laguna Beach patients accustomed to high standards — whether in art, architecture, or lifestyle — this approach tends to resonate. The goal isn’t the most dramatic transformation. It’s the most appropriate one, delivered with precision, and built to last.
Achieve your dream smile with cosmetic dentistry and flexible financing that makes transformation affordable.
Newport Beach Dental Center offers a full range of cosmetic services, from single-tooth corrections to complete smile transformations. Treatments available to Laguna Beach patients include:
Custom-crafted porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth address discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment in a single coordinated treatment. Dr. Sharbash works with a high-end dental lab to ensure each veneer matches your natural tooth color, translucency, and light-reflecting properties precisely.
Bioclear is a minimally invasive composite bonding system that closes black triangles between teeth, reshapes worn edges, and corrects minor spacing issues without removing healthy tooth structure. For patients with isolated cosmetic concerns, Bioclear is often the better alternative — delivering excellent results while preserving the enamel that veneers would require reducing.
| Feature | Porcelain Veneers | Bioclear Bonding |
|---|---|---|
| Enamel removed? | Minimal reduction required | No enamel removed |
| Best for | Discoloration, chips, gaps, misalignment | Black triangles, worn edges, minor spacing |
| Material | Porcelain (lab-crafted) | Composite resin (chairside) |
| Treatment visits | Typically 2 appointments | Often completed in 1 visit |
| Reversible? | No — permanent once enamel is prepared | Yes — can be removed without damage |
Professional-grade whitening delivers results that over-the-counter products cannot replicate. In-office and take-home options are available depending on your timeline and sensitivity level. Whitening is often the first step before veneers or bonding, establishing a baseline shade that all restorations are matched to.
Beyond cosmetic applications, Botox is used therapeutically at Newport Beach Dental Center to relieve jaw tension associated with TMJ disorder and bruxism — addressing fine lines around the mouth and forehead for patients who want both benefits in one appointment.
Straighten teeth discreetly with clear aligners monitored remotely between appointments. ProMonitoring technology allows Dr. Sharbash to track your progress digitally, reducing in-office visits while keeping treatment on schedule.
When multiple cosmetic concerns need to be addressed together — discoloration, shape, alignment, and proportion — Dr. Sharbash designs a coordinated treatment plan that sequences each procedure for the most efficient and natural-looking result. Smile makeovers at Newport Beach Dental Center are built on the same conservative principle: only what’s needed, executed with precision. Every plan begins with a thorough evaluation of your bite health, gum tissue, and existing restorations before any cosmetic work is recommended.
The right cosmetic treatment depends on what you want to change, how much natural tooth structure you want to preserve, and your timeline. During your consultation, Dr. Sharbash evaluates your teeth and gum health, discusses your goals, and walks through the options that make sense for your specific situation — without recommending more than what’s needed.

Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted shells bonded to the front of your teeth to address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment. Bioclear is a minimally invasive composite bonding system that reshapes teeth and closes gaps without removing healthy tooth structure. Dr. Sharbash recommends Bioclear when it can achieve a comparable result to veneers with less impact on natural enamel.
