Restorative dentistry in Laguna Beach covers a wide range of needs — from a single cavity to a full mouth requiring multiple coordinated procedures. What patients here consistently want is a dentist who treats only what needs treating, uses materials that hold up over time, and doesn’t recommend more aggressive intervention than the situation actually requires. At Newport Beach Dental Center, Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, approaches every restorative case through a biomimetic lens: preserve first, restore only what cannot be saved, and use materials that mimic the natural properties of your teeth.
Dr. Sharbash is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry — a credential held by fewer than 7% of dentists in the United States — and brings that depth of clinical training to every restorative evaluation. Newport Beach Dental Center is accessible from Laguna Beach via Pacific Coast Highway, and welcomes new restorative patients from throughout Orange County.

Biomimetic dentistry is an approach that prioritizes preserving natural tooth structure by using materials and techniques that mimic the mechanical and aesthetic properties of healthy teeth. Rather than removing healthy enamel to place a full crown, Dr. Sharbash evaluates whether an inlay, onlay, or direct restoration can achieve a durable result with significantly less removal of healthy tissue. According to the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry, this approach can reduce the need for root canals and crowns compared to conventional restorative methods — meaning fewer large procedures over the course of a patient’s dental history.
For Laguna Beach patients who have been told they need a crown, a root canal, or extensive restorative work, this philosophy often means getting a second opinion worth having.
Achieve your dream smile with cosmetic dentistry and flexible financing that makes transformation affordable.
Newport Beach Dental Center provides a full range of restorative treatments, from conservative single-tooth repairs to comprehensive full mouth reconstruction.
Composite resin fillings match the natural color of your tooth and bond directly to remaining tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy enamel than traditional amalgam. For patients with old metal fillings that are failing or cosmetically bothersome, replacement with composite is a common and conservative option.
Using CEREC CAD/CAM technology, Dr. Sharbash can design, mill, and place a permanent ceramic crown in a single appointment. No temporaries, no second visit — a crown milled from a single block of high-strength ceramic matched precisely to your natural tooth and bite.
For missing teeth, implants are the only restorative option that addresses bone loss at the root level. Newport Beach Dental Center evaluates implant candidates thoroughly and provides clear timelines and cost breakdowns before treatment begins. Learn more on our dental implants in Laguna Beach page.
Patients with multiple damaged, decayed, or missing teeth may benefit from a coordinated reconstruction plan that sequences treatments logically — stabilizing the most urgent problems first, then building toward a complete and functional result. Dr. Sharbash develops these plans collaboratively with patients, explaining each phase before it begins.
Rather than defaulting to a crown for every damaged tooth, Dr. Sharbash evaluates whether an inlay, onlay, or direct restoration can achieve a durable result with significantly less removal of healthy structure. This approach preserves more of what nature gave you while delivering results built to last.
Restorative work can feel overwhelming, especially for patients who have avoided the dentist for years. Newport Beach Dental Center offers sedation options and takes a patient-led approach to treatment pacing. No one is pushed into a procedure they’re not ready for, and every treatment recommendation comes with a clear explanation of what’s being suggested and why.

Same-day CEREC crowns are milled from high-strength ceramic and are designed to last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care. Because they are placed in one appointment, there is no temporary crown period and the fit is precise. Dr. Sharbash matches the crown to your bite to reduce uneven wear.
