Hear from Our Customers
You deserve a dentist who understands that your oral health affects everything – your confidence, your comfort, your overall well-being. When you choose our Poestenkill dental practice, you’re not just getting a cleaning or filling. You’re investing in care that helps you eat without pain, smile without hesitation, and sleep without the worry of dental problems getting worse.
Our patients tell us they wish they’d found us sooner. They talk about finally being able to enjoy meals again after years of avoiding certain foods. They mention feeling confident in job interviews and social situations because their smile no longer holds them back.
That’s what happens when you work with a dentist who’s been serving Rensselaer County families for over three decades. We know what works, we’ve seen every situation, and we’re here to help you get back to living your life fully.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been providing exceptional dental care to Poestenkill and the greater Rensselaer County area since 1988. As a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine, he brings both extensive training and real-world experience to every patient interaction.
What sets our practice apart is our understanding of this community’s unique needs. We know that many residents in rural areas like Poestenkill have limited options for dental care, and we’ve built our practice around being accessible, affordable, and genuinely caring about each person who walks through our doors.
Our state-of-the-art facility maintains the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, while our approach remains refreshingly personal. We’re not a corporate chain – we’re your neighbors, committed to keeping Rensselaer County families healthy and smiling.
Your first visit starts with a comprehensive examination where we listen to your concerns and assess your current oral health. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify any issues early, but we explain everything in plain language – no confusing dental jargon that leaves you wondering what’s really going on.
If treatment is needed, we’ll discuss all your options and help you understand what each approach involves. For patients who experience anxiety about dental work, we offer sedation dentistry options that help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your procedure.
During treatment, our focus is on your comfort and achieving lasting results. We use modern techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your dental work not only looks natural but also stands the test of time. After your procedure, we provide clear instructions for care and healing, and we’re always available if you have questions or concerns during your recovery.

Our Poestenkill dental practice offers everything your family needs under one roof. From routine cleanings and preventive care to complex restorative work and cosmetic improvements, we handle it all with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
For families in Rensselaer County, this comprehensive approach means fewer trips to different specialists and more consistent care from a team that knows your dental history. We provide general dentistry services like fillings, crowns, and bridges, as well as cosmetic options including teeth whitening, veneers, and complete smile makeovers.
Our sedation dentistry services are particularly valuable for patients who have avoided dental care due to anxiety or fear. We understand that dental phobia is real and affects many people in our community. That’s why we’ve invested in training and equipment that allows us to provide comfortable, stress-free dental experiences for even the most anxious patients. Emergency services are also available because we know dental problems don’t wait for convenient times.
We work with most major dental insurance plans and are happy to verify your coverage before your appointment. Insurance coverage can vary significantly, so we recommend calling our office directly to discuss your specific plan and what services are covered.
For patients without insurance or those whose plans don’t cover certain procedures, we offer flexible payment options to make dental care more accessible. We believe that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent anyone in Rensselaer County from getting the dental care they need, so we work with each patient to find a payment solution that fits their budget.
Yes, we provide emergency dental services for patients experiencing severe tooth pain, dental trauma, lost fillings or crowns, and other urgent dental problems. We understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time and often cause significant pain and anxiety.
When you call our office with a dental emergency, we prioritize getting you seen as quickly as possible. Dr. Kupetz has extensive experience handling emergency situations and can provide immediate relief for most urgent dental problems. We keep time slots available in our schedule specifically for emergency appointments, and we’re committed to seeing emergency patients the same day whenever possible.
Dental anxiety is extremely common, and Dr. Kupetz is specially trained in sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm and comfortable during their procedures. We offer several sedation options, including oral sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and IV sedation, depending on your level of anxiety and the complexity of your treatment.
Our entire team is trained to work with anxious patients, and we take extra time to explain each step of your treatment so you know exactly what to expect. We’ve found that many patients who were previously terrified of dental work become completely comfortable once they experience our gentle, patient-centered approach. Many tell us that sedation dentistry has completely changed their relationship with dental care.
We offer a full range of cosmetic dental services designed to improve both the appearance and function of your smile. These include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, tooth bonding, and complete smile makeovers that can transform your entire smile.
Dr. Kupetz has extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry and uses the latest techniques and highest-quality materials to achieve natural-looking results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your smile goals and create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns. Whether you want to fix a single chipped tooth or completely redesign your smile, we can help you achieve the confident, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
Most patients should have professional cleanings and checkups every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their individual risk factors, such as gum disease, diabetes, or a history of dental problems.
During your initial examination, we’ll assess your oral health status and recommend a personalized schedule that’s right for you. Regular preventive care is much more cost-effective than waiting until problems develop, and it helps us catch potential issues early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat. For patients in rural areas like Poestenkill, where dental care options may be limited, maintaining regular preventive visits is especially important.
Your first visit will include a comprehensive oral examination, digital X-rays if needed, and a thorough discussion of your dental history and any current concerns. We’ll also perform a professional cleaning unless you have specific issues that need to be addressed first.
Dr. Kupetz will explain his findings in detail and discuss any recommended treatments, always giving you options and helping you understand the benefits of each approach. We take time during this first visit to get to know you as a person, understand your dental goals, and address any anxiety or concerns you might have about dental care. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have a clear understanding of your oral health status and a personalized plan for maintaining or improving your smile.
