Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of avoiding certain foods. You’re done covering your mouth when you laugh. Dental implants change all that.
Unlike dentures that slip and click, implants become part of you. They’re anchored directly into your jawbone, giving you the stability to bite into an apple or laugh without worry. You’ll forget you ever lost a tooth.
The difference isn’t just functional—it’s psychological. Patients tell us they feel like themselves again. They stop thinking about their teeth and start living their lives.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been placing dental implants in Dutchess County since 1988. That’s over three decades of experience you can count on.
Titusville residents know they can trust Dr. Kupetz with their most important dental needs. He’s the dentist families call when they need emergency care on weekends. He’s the perfectionist who’ll redo work if the color isn’t quite right.
Our Dutchess County practice combines advanced implant technology with the personal care you expect from a local dentist. We’re not a corporate chain—we’re your neighbors.
First, we’ll examine your mouth and take detailed images to plan your implant placement. Every case is different, so we customize your treatment plan.
During the implant procedure, we place a titanium post into your jawbone where your tooth root used to be. Don’t worry about discomfort—we offer sedation dentistry for anxious patients. Most people are surprised how comfortable the process is.
Over the next few months, your implant fuses with your bone. Once healed, we attach your custom crown. The result looks and feels exactly like your natural tooth.

Whether you need one tooth or a complete smile makeover, we handle all types of dental implant cases in Titusville, NY. Single tooth implants replace individual missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth.
For patients missing multiple teeth, we offer implant-supported dentures and full mouth reconstruction. These solutions eliminate the problems of traditional dentures—no more slipping, clicking, or adhesives.
Dutchess County residents choose our practice because we combine advanced implant technology with personalized care. We work with your insurance and offer flexible payment plans to make your treatment affordable.
Dental implants can last 25 years or more with proper care. Unlike bridges that typically need replacement every 10-15 years, implants are designed to be a permanent solution.
The titanium implant post actually fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation that can last a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement due to normal wear, but the implant itself rarely fails.
Your oral hygiene and regular checkups with Dr. Kupetz will determine how long your implants last. Most of our Dutchess County patients find their implants outlast any other dental restoration they’ve had.
Single tooth implants typically range from $3,000 to $5,000, including the implant, abutment, and crown. Full mouth reconstruction varies based on your specific needs and treatment plan.
We work with most dental insurance plans, and many cover a portion of implant treatment. Our office staff will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before treatment begins.
We also offer flexible payment plans to make your dental implants affordable. The investment pays off over time—implants eliminate the ongoing costs of denture adhesives, relining, and frequent replacements that come with traditional dentures.
Most patients are surprised how comfortable the implant procedure is. We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely, and we offer sedation dentistry for patients with dental anxiety.
During the procedure, you shouldn’t feel any pain. Afterward, most people describe the discomfort as similar to having a tooth extracted. Over-the-counter pain medication usually manages any post-operative discomfort.
Dr. Kupetz’s gentle technique and experience placing implants for over 30 years means less trauma to your tissues and faster healing. Many Dutchess County patients return to work the next day.
In certain cases, we can place an implant and temporary crown in the same visit. This works best when you have good bone density and the extraction site is healthy.
Same-day implants aren’t right for everyone. If you need bone grafting or have gum disease, we’ll need to address those issues first. Dr. Kupetz will evaluate your specific situation during your consultation.
Even when immediate placement isn’t possible, we can often provide a temporary solution so you’re never without teeth. Our goal is to minimize the time you spend with missing teeth while ensuring your implant’s long-term success.
Dr. Kupetz has been placing dental implants in Dutchess County for over 30 years. That experience translates to predictable results and fewer complications for his patients.
He’s also a certified sedation dentist, which means anxious patients can get the implant treatment they need in complete comfort. Many dentists refer their own sedation cases to Dr. Kupetz because of his expertise.
Our patients appreciate his perfectionist approach—he’ll redo work if he’s not satisfied with the result. That attention to detail has built trust with Titusville families for three decades. When you need emergency care, Dr. Kupetz has even come in on holidays to help patients in pain.
Not everyone needs bone grafting, but it’s sometimes necessary when you’ve been missing teeth for a long time. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that area begins to shrink without the tooth root to stimulate it.
Dr. Kupetz will take detailed X-rays and possibly a CT scan to evaluate your bone density. If you need grafting, it’s usually a minor procedure that can often be done at the same time as your implant placement.
Modern bone grafting techniques have made the process much more comfortable and predictable. Most Dutchess County patients who need grafting are glad they did it—it ensures their implant will be stable and last for decades.
