You wake up each morning noticing those lines around your eyes getting deeper. The stress lines on your forehead seem more pronounced after every long day. Maybe you’re dealing with jaw pain that makes eating uncomfortable, or you’re tired of hiding your smile because of gum show.
Botox changes that story. Within days of treatment, you’ll see smoother skin where those worry lines used to live. The tension in your jaw starts to ease, giving you relief you haven’t felt in months. Your face looks refreshed, not frozen—like you’ve been getting better sleep and drinking more water.
This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin again and addressing real discomfort that’s been holding you back from living fully.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been Dover Plains’ go-to cosmetic dentist since 1988. He’s not just another provider jumping on the Botox trend—he’s been perfecting facial aesthetics for over 30 years right here in Dutchess County.
What makes the difference? Dentists understand facial anatomy better than most. We know exactly where every nerve and muscle sits, which means precise placement and natural results. Dr. Kupetz is also the dentist your neighbors trust, which says something in a close-knit community like Dover Plains.
You’re not getting assembly-line treatment here. This is personalized care from someone who’s built his reputation one patient at a time in your community.
Your Botox experience starts with a consultation where we evaluate your concerns and explain exactly what to expect. No pressure, no overselling—just honest answers about what Botox can and can’t do for you.
The actual treatment takes under five minutes. Using ultra-fine needles, we precisely place small amounts of Botox into targeted muscles. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch, nothing more.
You can return to your normal activities immediately. Results start showing within 3-7 days and peak around two weeks. The effects typically last three to four months, giving you plenty of time to decide if you want to continue treatments.

We offer both cosmetic and therapeutic Botox treatments tailored to Dover Plains residents’ needs. For cosmetic concerns, we address crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and gummy smiles with natural-looking results that enhance rather than change your appearance.
The therapeutic applications often surprise people. Botox effectively treats TMJ disorders that cause jaw pain and headaches—common issues in our stress-filled world. It also helps with teeth grinding that damages your dental work and disrupts sleep. For patients dealing with excessive sweating, Botox provides months of relief.
Living in Dutchess County means dealing with seasonal stress, long commutes to NYC, and the daily pressures of balancing work and family. These factors contribute to facial tension and premature aging. We understand these local lifestyle factors and tailor treatments accordingly.
Botox pricing in Dover Plains typically ranges from $250 to $500 per treatment area, depending on the number of units needed and the specific areas being treated. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins.
The cost varies because everyone’s facial anatomy and treatment goals are different. Crow’s feet might need 15-20 units, while forehead lines could require 20-30 units. We will assess your specific needs and provide a clear breakdown of costs with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Absolutely. Dentists are actually among the best-qualified professionals to administer Botox because of our extensive training in facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and injection techniques. Dr. Kupetz has been working with facial muscles and nerves for over 30 years, giving him unparalleled expertise in precise placement.
Dentists also understand the relationship between jaw function, facial muscles, and overall oral health. This comprehensive knowledge allows us to address both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns effectively. The safety record for dental Botox administration is excellent when performed by properly trained professionals.
The convenience factor is significant too—you can get your Botox treatment during the same visit as your regular dental care, saving you time and ensuring continuity of care with a provider who knows your complete medical history.
Botox results typically last three to four months, though this can vary based on individual factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and the treatment area. Most Dover Plains patients find that their results peak around two weeks after treatment and gradually fade over the following months.
Your first treatment might not last as long as subsequent ones because your muscles are learning to relax. Many patients find that with regular treatments, they can extend the time between appointments. We will work with you to develop a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle and budget.
The gradual fade means you won’t suddenly look different one day—the effects wear off naturally, giving you control over whether to continue treatments or let them lapse completely.
Cosmetic Botox focuses on smoothing wrinkles and fine lines to create a more youthful appearance. This includes treating crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and addressing gummy smiles. The goal is aesthetic enhancement while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Medical Botox treats functional issues like TMJ disorders, chronic migraines, teeth grinding (bruxism), and excessive sweating. These treatments often use higher doses and target different muscle groups than cosmetic applications. The primary goal is symptom relief and improved quality of life.
We are trained in both applications and often combine them. For example, treating jaw muscles for TMJ relief can also provide cosmetic benefits by slimming the lower face. We’ll discuss which approach best addresses your specific concerns during your consultation.
Yes, Botox is highly effective for TMJ disorders and jaw pain. By relaxing the masseter muscles (the large chewing muscles), Botox reduces the tension that causes TMJ symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty opening your mouth.
The treatment involves injecting Botox directly into the overactive jaw muscles, which reduces their ability to clench and grind. Most patients notice significant relief within a week, with peak results around two weeks. The effects typically last three to four months.
This approach is particularly valuable because it’s non-invasive and reversible, unlike surgical TMJ treatments. Many Dover Plains patients find that Botox for TMJ also provides the added benefit of a more defined jawline as the enlarged muscles relax and reduce in size.
Your consultation with us begins with a thorough discussion of your concerns, goals, and medical history. We’ll examine the areas you want treated and explain exactly how Botox can help, along with realistic expectations for results.
You’ll learn about the treatment process, potential side effects, and aftercare instructions. We will also provide detailed pricing information and discuss the recommended treatment schedule. This is your opportunity to ask questions and make sure you’re completely comfortable before proceeding.
Many patients choose to have their treatment the same day as their consultation, but there’s never any pressure to decide immediately. We want you to feel confident in your decision and will provide all the information you need to make the best choice for your situation.
