Detailed Introduction

Modern family dentistry is a highly-regarded dental practice situated at 551 Jersey Ave in Jersey City, New Jersey. The clinic is a family-run office, founded by a husband-and-wife dental team, Dr. Jennifer Marin and Dr. Ari Crystal-Ornelas. They met while attending Rutgers School of Dental Medicine and their vision was to create a modern, family-friendly environment that caters to both children and adults. The office is known for its comfortable atmosphere, which includes amenities like TVs on the ceilings for patient viewing, and a kids' play area. Modern Family Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of services, encompassing general, cosmetic, implant, orthodontic, and pediatric dentistry. Their service offerings are extensive and include high-quality hygiene services, preventative treatments, same-day crowns using their Cerec system, porcelain veneers, and root canal treatments. They also provide more advanced procedures such as oral surgery, implant dentistry, and the use of neurotoxin treatments (like Botox) for TMJ issues, migraines, and cosmetic enhancements. The practice is well-equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including low-radiation digital X-rays and 3D digital tooth scanning. A key focus of the practice is patient comfort, especially for those with dental anxiety or phobia. Dr. Ari Crystal is licensed in conscious sedation, and the clinic offers nitrous oxide and other sedation services to make procedures as comfortable as possible for both adults and children. In addition to Dr. Marin and Dr. Crystal-Ornelas, the team includes a board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Rupali Shah, who specializes in braces and Invisalign for patients of all ages, and a pediatric dentist, Dr. Yasmi Crystal, who is a board-certified diplomate. Both Dr. Marin and Dr. Crystal-Ornelas are fluent in Spanish, further enhancing their ability to serve the diverse Jersey City community.

I had my cleaning yesterday at Modern Dentistry, and from start to finish, the experience was simply amazing. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming the moment I walked in, making check-in smooth and stress-free. My hygienist was incredibly thorough, gentle, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel completely at ease. Dr.

Ari was fantastic—kind, professional, and took the time to answer my questions without ever making me feel rushed. Even as I was leaving, the whole process felt seamless and pleasant. It's rare to say this about a dental visit, but I genuinely look forward to coming back. Highly recommend Modern Dentistry!

The best dental experience I've ever had! I can't say enough good things about Modern Family Dental. From the moment you enter, Kennie at reception welcomes you with a warm smile and total professionalism. It makes you feel at home from the first second. Oemi, the hygienist, is incredibly kind and detailed. He makes sure that everything is impeccable and explains each step with clarity and patience. Thanks to her, cleaning doesn't make me nervous anymore.

Barbara, the dental assistant, is simply the best. She is always attentive, super efficient and has an energy that transmits tranquility. Make a great team with the doctor! And of course, Dr. Ari. . .

is a master in his art! Professional, attentive and with a human touch that is not easily found. He explains everything clearly and it shows that he is passionate about his work and the well-being of his patients. I recommend this office 100%. A true example of excellence and dental care. And it should be noted that I come from another state, Colorado, so imagine how big they are. Niurka GP

I had a great experience with Dr. Ari Crystal-Ornelas during my recent crown procedure. He was incredibly helpful, focused, and professional. You can tell he has a real passion for his work—he approached everything with care and precision, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process.

I felt I was in very capable hands. Highly recommend Dr. Ari if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about getting it right.

I've been going to Modern family dentistry for many years. Even after moving out of town I commute back for my dental work. Dr. Marin and Dr. Ari have worked with me on many complex dental issues.

Their knowledge and experience has saved me many times and they always go the extra mile to make sure I am comfortable and understand the treatment plans. All of the office members are friendly and communicative. They work with me to accommodate a challenging schedule not being local. They even make the insurance side of things easy!
