Remember when you could bite into an apple without thinking twice? When corn on the cob wasn’t off-limits? When you laughed without covering your mouth?
Dental implants in Brunswick, NY bring that freedom back. They’re not removable. They don’t slip. They don’t break when you’re eating dinner with friends.
You brush them like regular teeth. Floss them like regular teeth. Because functionally, they are your teeth now—just better engineered and built to last forever.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been placing dental implants in Rensselaer County since before most practices even offered them. Thirty-plus years of experience means he’s seen every complication, solved every challenge, and perfected techniques that make your procedure smoother.
But experience alone isn’t enough. We specialize in sedation dentistry because we know dental anxiety is real. Half our patients were terrified when they first walked in. They leave wondering what they were so worried about.
Brunswick residents choose us because we answer our phone. Even for emergencies. Even late at night. When you’re in pain, you don’t get voicemail—you get help.
Your consultation starts with straight talk. Dr. Kupetz examines your mouth, explains what you need, and gives you real numbers—no surprises later. X-rays and 3D scans map out your treatment precisely.
The actual implant placement is surprisingly quick. A small titanium post goes into your jawbone under anesthesia. Most patients are shocked how comfortable the whole thing is. You’ll go home the same day with clear instructions and Dr. Kupetz’s direct number.
Over the next few months, your bone grows around the implant, locking it in permanently. Once that’s complete, your custom crown, bridge, or denture gets attached. Total time is usually 3-6 months, but you’ll have temporary teeth so no one knows you’re in treatment.

Missing one tooth? A single implant replaces it without touching your healthy teeth—unlike bridges that require grinding down adjacent teeth. Missing several in a row? Implant-supported bridges use just two implants to replace an entire section.
Lost most or all your teeth? All-on-4 dental implants give you a complete arch of fixed teeth using just four strategically placed implants. Many Brunswick patients get their new teeth the same day as surgery.
We often place implants immediately after extractions, cutting your total treatment time in half. Not every case qualifies, but when it’s possible, you’ll leave with your implant already in place instead of waiting months between procedures.
Here’s the truth about implant costs: they’re expensive upfront but cheap over time. Dentures need replacement every 7-10 years. Bridges fail and need redoing. Implants last forever with basic care.
We provide exact costs during consultation—no ballpark estimates or surprise bills later. Most dental insurance covers part of the treatment. Payment plans spread the cost over months or years if needed.
The real cost is what you’re paying now: avoiding restaurants, skipping social events, limiting your diet. Implants end all that. Most patients say they should have done it years sooner.
Most patients are surprised—implant surgery hurts less than getting a tooth pulled. We use advanced anesthesia and sedation techniques. You feel pressure, not pain. Many patients fall asleep during the procedure.
Recovery is typically easier than expected too. Some soreness for a few days, manageable with over-the-counter pain meds. Dr. Kupetz gives you his direct number, so you’re never wondering if something’s normal.
Our 30+ years of experience shows in the results. Patients consistently report comfortable procedures and smooth healing, even those who were initially terrified.
The titanium implant itself lasts forever. It fuses to your bone and becomes part of you. The crown, bridge, or denture attached to it might need replacement after 15-20 years from normal wear.
Compare that to dentures (5-7 years), bridges (7-10 years), or partials (5-8 years). Implants are the only true permanent solution. We have patients with 20+ year old implants still going strong.
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are all you need. No special cleaners, adhesives, or overnight soaking. Just normal oral hygiene like you’d do with natural teeth.
Bone loss doesn’t automatically disqualify you. We perform bone grafting to rebuild your jaw when needed. The procedure sounds worse than it is—most patients handle it easily and say the results were worth the extra time.
Bone grafting adds 3-6 months to treatment while new bone grows, but it creates a solid foundation for implants that will last decades. Some cases can use All-on-4 techniques that work around bone loss entirely.
We evaluate every case individually. Even patients told elsewhere they weren’t candidates often find solutions here. The consultation reveals what’s actually possible for your specific situation.
Experience matters, but so does availability. Dr. Kupetz has been placing implants since the 1990s, but he also answers emergency calls personally. When you’re in pain at 9 PM, you reach him, not an answering service.
We handle complex cases other practices refer out. Single implants, full mouth reconstructions, bone grafting—everything under one roof with the same doctor. No bouncing between specialists or coordinating multiple treatment plans.
Most importantly, we get dental anxiety. Our practice specializes in sedation because we know fear keeps people from getting treatment they need. Patients leave wondering what took them so long to call.
Soft foods for the first week while initial healing happens. Most patients return to normal eating within 2-3 weeks, avoiding only extremely hard foods during the 3-6 month integration period.
Once your permanent teeth are attached, all restrictions are off. Steak, corn on the cob, apples, nuts—everything denture wearers gave up years ago. Your implants handle these foods like natural teeth because functionally, that’s what they are.
We provide specific guidelines based on your healing progress. Following them ensures optimal results and gets you back to enjoying all your favorite foods as quickly as possible.
