From routine cleanings that keep problems from starting to cosmetic dentistry that transforms your confidence, every service we provide is designed around one goal: giving you a healthy smile you’re excited to show off.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving patients throughout Dutchess County with the kind of dental care that builds lasting relationships. Our practice combines modern techniques with the personal attention that makes all the difference when you’re in the chair.
Located right in Beacon, we understand what matters to local families. You need appointments that work with your schedule, treatment plans that make financial sense, and a dentist who takes time to explain what’s happening and why.
Our focus isn’t just fixing problems—it’s preventing them. That means fewer emergency visits, less discomfort, and more confidence in your oral health over the long run.
 
															Your first appointment starts with a comprehensive exam where Dr. Kupetz reviews your dental history, current concerns, and goals. Digital X-rays and a thorough examination help identify any issues before they become bigger problems.
If treatment is needed, you’ll receive a clear explanation of your options, timeline, and costs upfront. No surprises, no pressure—just the information you need to make the right decision for your situation.
We design treatment plans around your schedule and comfort level. Whether it’s a simple filling, cosmetic enhancement, or more complex restorative work, we explain every step clearly so you know exactly what to expect.

From preventive cleanings to smile makeovers, we offer comprehensive dental services designed to meet every need. Our general dentistry services include routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and bridges that restore function and appearance.
Cosmetic dentistry options like porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, and professional whitening help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. These treatments are particularly popular among Beacon professionals who want to look their best in both personal and business settings.
Our restorative services including full mouth reconstruction and dental implants help patients regain complete oral health and function. With Dutchess County’s active lifestyle, having strong, reliable teeth makes all the difference in enjoying everything the Hudson Valley has to offer.
 
															Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months, but your individual needs may vary based on your oral health history and current condition. Some patients with gum disease or other risk factors may need cleanings every three to four months.
During your initial exam, Dr. Kupetz will assess your specific situation and recommend the ideal cleaning schedule for you. Regular cleanings not only keep your teeth looking their best but also help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other issues that can become expensive to treat later.
The key is consistency. Patients who maintain regular cleaning appointments typically have fewer dental problems and lower treatment costs over time.
Several cosmetic treatments can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance, depending on your specific concerns and goals. Porcelain veneers are excellent for correcting chips, gaps, discoloration, or slightly crooked teeth, providing natural-looking results that can last 10-15 years.
Professional teeth whitening removes years of stains from coffee, wine, and aging, often lightening teeth by several shades in just one appointment. For minor imperfections, tooth bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips or close small gaps quickly and affordably.
Dr. Kupetz will evaluate your smile and discuss which options would be most effective for achieving your desired results. Many treatments can be combined for a complete smile makeover.
We work with most major dental insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment to help you understand your benefits. Insurance typically covers preventive services like cleanings and exams at 100%, while restorative treatments may have different coverage levels.
For patients without insurance or those needing treatments not fully covered, we offer flexible payment options. Our office staff will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget while ensuring you get the dental care you need.
It’s always best to call ahead with your insurance information so our team can verify your specific benefits and help you maximize your coverage.
Your initial appointment includes a comprehensive examination, digital X-rays, and a thorough discussion of your dental history and current concerns. Dr. Kupetz will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to identify any existing issues or potential problems.
If you’re experiencing pain or have specific concerns, we’ll address these first. The exam also includes an oral cancer screening and evaluation of your bite and jaw function. We explain all findings clearly, along with any recommended treatment options.
Most first visits take about an hour, allowing plenty of time for questions and discussion about your oral health goals. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your dental health status and any recommended next steps.
The choice between a crown and filling depends on the extent of tooth damage and the tooth’s location in your mouth. Fillings work well for small to medium cavities where there’s still plenty of healthy tooth structure remaining to support the restoration.
We recommend crowns when a tooth has extensive decay, a large existing filling that’s failing, or has been weakened by root canal treatment. Crowns also provide better protection for back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces.
Dr. Kupetz will explain why a particular treatment is recommended for your situation, showing you the affected area and discussing how each option would restore function and appearance. Our goal is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while ensuring long-lasting results.
Dental anxiety is extremely common, and Dr. Kupetz has extensive experience helping nervous patients feel comfortable and relaxed during treatment. The first step is always communication—discussing your specific concerns and past experiences helps us create a treatment approach that works for you.
We offer various comfort measures, from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety to sedation options for more significant concerns. Many patients find that simply having procedures explained step-by-step and knowing they can stop at any time helps them feel more in control.
Our practice environment is designed to be calming and welcoming, with a focus on making each visit as comfortable as possible. Many patients who were initially anxious become completely comfortable once they experience the gentle, patient-centered approach we use.
