Crowns, Inlays & Onlays in Jersey City, NJ

A filling is generally used for minor cavities to prevent further decay. A crown is necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, fractured, or has such extensive decay that it requires structural support to function normally again.

To maximize the lifespan of your restoration, avoid grinding your teeth or chewing on hard objects like fingernails and pens. If you play contact sports, wearing a protective mouthguard is essential.

Your mouth may feel slightly tender, and you might notice some temporary gum inflammation. These symptoms typically resolve quickly, and we will provide you with advice on managing any initial post-procedure sensitivity.

It is common to feel a little nervous, but you should only experience minor discomfort during the process. We use a numbing agent to ensure the area is comfortable before the crown is placed.
