Dr. Scott Kupetz provides comprehensive dental care including general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, and restorative services. General dentistry covers routine cleanings, fillings, oral exams, and preventive care to maintain your oral health.
Cosmetic services include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and complete smile makeovers for patients looking to enhance their appearance. Restorative dentistry addresses damaged or missing teeth through dental crowns, bridges, and full mouth reconstruction when needed.
The advantage of comprehensive care is continuity—we understand your complete oral health history and can coordinate different treatments for optimal results rather than treating isolated problems.
Cosmetic dental costs vary significantly based on the specific treatment and complexity of your case. Teeth whitening typically ranges from $300-600, while porcelain veneers can cost $800-1,500 per tooth depending on the materials and technique used.
More comprehensive treatments like smile makeovers involving multiple procedures are priced based on your individual treatment plan. During your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed cost breakdown with no surprises or hidden fees.
Many patients find that investing in quality cosmetic dentistry provides long-term value through improved confidence and durability. Payment plans and financing options are often available to make treatments more accessible within your budget.
Your initial appointment begins with a comprehensive oral examination, including X-rays if needed to assess your current dental health. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and any symptoms or issues you’ve been experiencing.
We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and previous dental work to understand your complete health picture. This information helps us create a personalized treatment plan that addresses both immediate needs and long-term oral health goals.
You’ll receive a clear explanation of any recommended treatments, including timeline and cost estimates. There’s no pressure to commit immediately—you’ll have time to consider your options and ask questions before moving forward with any procedures.
We accept most dental insurance plans, and our office staff will help verify your coverage and benefits before treatment begins. We’ll contact your insurance company to understand your specific plan details, including deductibles, copays, and annual maximums.
For procedures not fully covered by insurance, payment plans and financing options are available to help make treatment affordable. Our goal is to ensure cost doesn’t prevent you from getting the dental care you need.
You’ll always receive a clear breakdown of what your insurance covers versus your out-of-pocket costs before any treatment begins. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about your dental care without financial surprises.
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and check-ups every six months, though your individual needs may vary based on your oral health status and risk factors. Patients with gum disease, frequent cavities, or other concerns may need more frequent visits.
Regular preventive care catches problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
We’ll recommend a schedule based on your specific situation. Some patients with excellent oral health may only need annual visits, while others benefit from quarterly cleanings and monitoring.
Good candidates for porcelain veneers have healthy teeth and gums with cosmetic concerns like discoloration, minor chips, gaps, or slightly crooked teeth. Veneers work best when the underlying tooth structure is sound and doesn’t require extensive repair.
You should have realistic expectations about the results and be committed to good oral hygiene to maintain your investment. Patients who grind their teeth may need a night guard to protect their veneers from damage.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your tooth structure, bite alignment, and aesthetic goals to determine if veneers are the best option for achieving your desired results. Alternative treatments may be recommended if they better suit your specific situation.
