That throbbing toothache keeping you awake? The cracked tooth that’s making eating impossible? We handle dental emergencies the way they should be handled—immediately.
Dr. Kupetz has built our practice around one simple truth: when you’re in pain, you need help now, not when it’s convenient for the dental office. That’s why patients throughout Albany County know they can count on us for same-day emergency appointments, even after hours.
You’ll walk out with the pain gone and a clear plan for preventing it from happening again. No more suffering through weekends hoping the pain goes away on its own.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been practicing dentistry since 1988, back when Bethlehem was still more farmland than suburbs. He’s watched families grow up, treated multiple generations, and earned the trust that only comes from consistently showing up when people need you most.
What sets our practice apart isn’t just experience—it’s understanding that every patient who walks through our door has their own story, their own fears, and their own goals for their smile. Whether you’re a busy professional in Delmar who needs efficient care or a parent in Glenmont looking for a dentist your kids won’t dread visiting, we tailor our approach to fit your life.
We’re not the biggest dental practice in Albany County, but we’re the one that remembers your name and actually cares about solving your problems.
Your first visit starts with an honest conversation about what’s bothering you and what you want to achieve. No judgment, no pressure to sign up for treatments you don’t need—just a clear assessment of where things stand.
We’ll take any necessary X-rays and perform a thorough examination, explaining what we find in plain English. If you need treatment, we’ll discuss your options, including costs and timeline, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
For routine cleanings and preventive care, most appointments take about an hour. More complex procedures are scheduled with plenty of time to ensure comfort and quality results. We coordinate with your schedule, not the other way around.

From basic cleanings to complete smile makeovers, we handle everything your family needs for optimal oral health. Our preventive services include thorough cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings to catch problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.
For patients looking to improve their smile, we offer professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and complete smile makeovers using advanced digital planning technology. Restorative treatments include dental crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures to replace damaged or missing teeth.
Albany County residents particularly appreciate our sedation dentistry options for patients with dental anxiety, and our cosmetic services that go beyond traditional dentistry—including Botox and Juvederm treatments to complement your dental work and give you a complete aesthetic transformation.
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and work directly with your provider to maximize your benefits. We understand that dental care is a significant investment, which is why we offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable for Albany County families.
Before any major treatment, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment options that work for your budget. We also accept CareCredit financing for larger procedures, allowing you to spread costs over time with convenient monthly payments.
Our goal is to ensure that cost never prevents you from getting the dental care you need. We’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your financial situation while providing the quality care you deserve.
Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and Dr. Kupetz has specialized in sedation dentistry throughout his 30+ year career to help anxious patients receive comfortable care. We offer multiple sedation options, including oral sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and IV sedation depending on your level of anxiety and the procedure being performed.
Our approach starts with understanding your specific fears and concerns. Some patients are worried about pain, others about feeling out of control, and many have had negative past experiences. We take time to address these concerns and create a calm, supportive environment where you feel safe and informed.
Many of our most anxious patients are amazed at how comfortable and relaxed they feel during treatment. Sedation allows you to receive necessary dental care without the stress and fear that may have prevented you from seeking treatment in the past.
Call our office immediately at 845-372-5975, even if it’s after hours. Dr. Kupetz understands that dental emergencies don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and we make every effort to see emergency patients the same day they call.
For severe pain, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. If you’ve knocked out a tooth, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if dirty, and keep it moist in milk or saliva while getting to our office as quickly as possible.
Common dental emergencies we treat include severe toothaches, broken or cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and facial swelling from infection. We keep time available in our schedule specifically for emergency patients because we know how debilitating dental pain can be.
We provide comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services to help Albany County residents achieve their ideal smile. Our most popular treatments include professional teeth whitening (both in-office and take-home options), porcelain veneers for dramatic smile transformations, and dental bonding for minor repairs and improvements.
For patients wanting a complete smile makeover, we use digital smile design technology that allows you to see potential results before treatment begins. This ensures you’re completely happy with the planned outcome before we start any work.
We also offer unique services like Botox and Juvederm treatments to complement your dental work and address facial aesthetics beyond just your teeth. Many patients love the convenience of getting both dental and cosmetic treatments in one location from a trusted provider they already know and trust.
Absolutely! We’re proud to serve as a family dentist for multiple generations throughout Albany County. Our gentle approach and modern techniques help children develop positive associations with dental care that last a lifetime.
For young patients, we focus on preventive care, proper oral hygiene education, and early intervention when needed. We provide services like dental sealants and fluoride treatments that are especially beneficial for children’s developing teeth, and we take time to explain procedures in age-appropriate ways to reduce anxiety.
Many families choose our practice because parents and children can all be seen in the same location by a dentist who knows their complete family dental history. This continuity of care allows us to spot potential issues early and provide coordinated treatment that considers each family member’s unique needs.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Albany County residents since graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine in 1988—over 30 years of dedicated service to local families. He’s watched the Bethlehem community grow and change while building lasting relationships with patients who trust him with their family’s dental care.
This extensive experience means Dr. Kupetz has seen and successfully treated virtually every type of dental problem you can imagine. He stays current with the latest techniques and technology while maintaining the personal, caring approach that has made him a trusted name in Albany County dentistry.
Patients often comment on Dr. Kupetz’s ability to remain calm and reassuring during emergencies, his skill in making anxious patients comfortable, and his honest, straightforward communication about treatment options and costs. This combination of experience, skill, and genuine care for his patients sets our practice apart in the Albany County dental community.
