Hear from Our Customers
You get a dentist who’s been doing this for over 30 years and still treats it like it matters. That means time to ask questions, clear answers about what something costs before you agree to it, and no pressure to say yes to treatments you’re not ready for.
Most people who come here are dealing with one of a few things: they haven’t been in years and they’re nervous about what they’ll hear. They’ve had bad experiences elsewhere. Or they just want someone who’ll take care of their family without the runaround.
What changes after your first visit is simple. You know what’s going on in your mouth. You have a plan that makes sense. And if something needs attention, you’re not wondering whether it’s actually necessary or just upselling.
Our dental office isn’t just about cleanings. It’s where you handle everything from routine care to cosmetic work to fixing something that broke on a Saturday. One place, one team that knows your history.
Dr. Scott Kupetz graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine in 1988 and has been serving Glenville and the surrounding area ever since. That’s long enough to treat multiple generations of the same families, which says something about how people feel about coming back.
Glenville’s a town where people stay. The median household income is around $98,000, the schools are strong, and families put down roots. That means your dentist should be someone who’s here for the long haul, not rotating through.
We handle general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative work under one roof. If you need sedation because you’re anxious, that’s available. If it’s an emergency and you’re in pain, same-day appointments happen regularly—even on weekends when it’s urgent.
Your first visit starts with an exam and usually a cleaning unless there’s something more urgent going on. You’ll get X-rays if it’s been a while or if something specific needs a closer look. Then Dr. Kupetz walks you through what he’s seeing—not in a way that requires a medical degree to understand.
If there’s treatment needed, you’ll hear what it is, why it matters, how long it takes, and what it costs. Then you decide. Some people move forward that day. Others want to think about it or check with insurance first. Both are fine.
For ongoing care, most people come in twice a year for cleanings and check-ups. That’s where you catch small things before they turn into big, expensive things. It’s also where you talk about anything cosmetic you’ve been thinking about—teeth whitening, veneers, implants—whatever’s been on your mind.
Emergency situations get handled fast. If you call with pain or a broken tooth, our goal is to get you in that day. Dr. Kupetz has come in on holidays before when someone needed it. You’re not sitting around waiting until Monday if it’s serious.

General dentistry covers your regular cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, and anything that keeps your teeth functional and healthy. That’s the foundation. Most patients with decent insurance see much of this covered, and our front desk verifies your benefits before you start treatment so there’s no surprise bill later.
Cosmetic dentistry includes teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, and full smile makeovers. These aren’t medically necessary, but they matter if your teeth are affecting how you feel in meetings, photos, or just day-to-day. The work is customized to look natural, not obvious.
Dental implants replace missing teeth with something permanent. The process involves placing a titanium post in your jaw, letting it heal, then attaching a crown. It sounds more intense than it usually feels—most patients are surprised by how manageable the discomfort is with local anesthesia and proper pain management.
Sedation dentistry is available for anyone who gets anxious. That ranges from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild nerves to IV sedation for people with serious dental phobias. In Glenville and across the U.S., dental anxiety affects 30-40 million people. You’re not unusual if you’d rather be sedated, and no one here will make you feel like you should just tough it out.
A routine cleaning typically runs between $75 and $200 depending on whether it’s a standard cleaning or a deeper scaling if you haven’t been in a while. If you have dental insurance, most plans cover two cleanings per year at 100%, meaning you’d pay nothing out of pocket.
Without insurance, we accept most major payment methods and can discuss options before you book. Our front desk verifies costs upfront, so you’re not guessing what you’ll owe.
What affects the price is how much buildup there is and whether you need additional work like X-rays or fluoride treatment. A standard visit for someone who comes regularly is on the lower end. If it’s been years, expect the higher end or possibly a separate deep cleaning appointment.
Yes, but calling first is smarter. Same-day emergency appointments are available most days, and if you call in the morning with serious pain or a broken tooth, there’s a good chance you’ll be seen that afternoon.
Dr. Kupetz has come in on weekends and holidays for patients in severe pain. Our answering service can reach him after hours if it’s truly urgent. That doesn’t mean every toothache requires an emergency visit, but if you’re in bad shape, you’re not waiting three days.
Walk-ins without calling risk waiting a long time or being asked to come back during a scheduled slot. Emergencies get prioritized, but the schedule still has regular patients. A quick phone call gets you triaged and slotted in appropriately, which is faster for everyone.
Family dentistry means one dentist can see everyone in your household, from kids to grandparents. You’re not bouncing between a pediatric dentist, an adult dentist, and someone else for your parents. It’s all handled in one dental office with one set of records and one relationship.
Services cover preventive care like cleanings and exams, restorative work like fillings and crowns, and basic cosmetic treatments. If your teenager needs whitening before prom or your spouse cracks a tooth, it’s the same place.
For families in Glenville, this matters because your time is limited. Coordinating multiple specialists across multiple offices is a headache. Family dentistry consolidates that. And when the same dentist sees everyone, we understand your family’s history—genetics, habits, concerns—which makes care more consistent.
Dental implants can last 25 years or more with proper care, and many last a lifetime. The implant itself—the titanium post in your jaw—rarely fails once it’s integrated. What might need replacement eventually is the crown on top, but even that typically lasts 10-15 years.
Success depends on a few things: good oral hygiene, not smoking, and healthy bone density. If you grind your teeth, a night guard helps protect the crown. Regular dental check-ups catch any issues early.
The upfront cost is higher than a bridge or denture, but the longevity makes implants more cost-effective long-term. You’re not replacing them every few years. And because they function like real teeth, you’re not dealing with slipping dentures or avoiding certain foods.
Professional teeth whitening is safe when done correctly. You might have some temporary sensitivity for a day or two, but that’s normal and fades quickly. The whitening agents we use in our dental clinic are stronger than over-the-counter products, which is why the results are better and faster.
How long it lasts depends on your habits. If you drink coffee, red wine, or smoke, expect the whitening to fade faster—usually within 6-12 months. If you avoid staining foods and drinks, you can stretch it to 2-3 years before needing a touch-up.
In-office whitening takes about an hour and you leave with noticeably whiter teeth that same day. Take-home trays are another option where you apply the gel yourself over a week or two. Both work, but in-office is faster if you’ve got an event coming up and need results now.
Call and book a cleaning and exam. That’s it. You’re not going to get lectured about how long it’s been. Nearly 25% of U.S. adults have untreated cavities, and plenty of people avoid the dentist for years because of cost, fear, or just life getting in the way.
The first appointment focuses on understanding what’s going on now. X-rays show what’s happening under the surface. The exam identifies any problems. Then you’ll get a clear explanation of what needs attention and what can wait.
If there’s a lot of work needed, it gets prioritized. Painful or urgent things first, then structural issues, then cosmetic stuff if you’re interested. You’re not doing it all at once unless you want to. The goal is a plan that makes sense for your situation, your budget, and your schedule—not cramming everything into next week because someone thinks you should.
