Whether you’re bringing your kids for their first cleaning or you need complex restorative work, you’ll get the same careful attention and honest communication.
In a community like Marlborough, where everyone knows everyone, your reputation matters. Dr. Kupetz has built our practice on the simple idea that when you do right by people, they notice. That’s why so many of our patients have been coming to us for decades, and why they trust us with their families’ smiles.
Here’s how it actually works when you choose Dr. Kupetz for your dental care in Marlborough, NY. First, you’ll get a thorough examination where he explains what he’s seeing and what it means for you. No dental jargon, no pressure – just clear information so you can make smart decisions about your health.

Dr. Kupetz accepts most major dental insurance plans, but coverage can vary significantly between different policies and procedures. The best approach is to call our office directly with your insurance information so we can verify your specific benefits and explain exactly what’s covered.
Many cosmetic procedures aren’t typically covered by insurance, but we offer payment plans and financing options to make treatment affordable. We’ll always discuss costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. The goal is to help you get the dental care you need without financial surprises.
Dr. Kupetz specializes in sedation dentistry and offers multiple options to help anxious patients feel comfortable during their treatment. Options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety, oral sedation for moderate anxiety, and IV sedation for patients with severe dental phobia.
The type of sedation recommended depends on your level of anxiety, the length of the procedure, and your medical history. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will discuss which option would work best for your situation. Many patients are surprised at how relaxed and comfortable they feel during treatment, even for procedures they’ve been dreading.
Dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, which is why Dr. Kupetz makes emergency appointments available for urgent situations like severe tooth pain, broken teeth, or lost fillings. When you call with an emergency, we will work to see you as quickly as possible, often the same day.
For true emergencies outside of normal business hours, there’s an emergency contact number you can call. The key is to call as soon as you realize you have a problem – many dental emergencies can be resolved more easily and with less discomfort when they’re addressed promptly rather than waiting until they become unbearable.
Dr. Kupetz provides a full range of cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve the smile you want. These include professional teeth whitening that’s more effective than over-the-counter products, porcelain veneers to correct chips, gaps, or discoloration, and dental crowns that look completely natural.
For patients interested in a complete smile transformation, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan that might include multiple procedures. Our approach is always conservative – we’ll recommend the least invasive treatments that will achieve your goals. During your consultation, we’ll show you what’s possible and help you prioritize treatments based on your budget and timeline.
Yes, Dr. Kupetz provides dental care for patients of all ages, from young children through seniors.

If you’re experiencing pain or have an urgent problem, that will be addressed first. Otherwise, we’ll develop a treatment plan prioritized by urgency and importance, always discussing costs and timeline upfront. New patients often comment on how thorough yet comfortable the examination process is, and how much time Dr. Kupetz spends explaining their options rather than rushing through the appointment.
