															You shouldn’t have to choose between quality dental care and peace of mind. When you’re dealing with tooth pain, dental anxiety, or simply need routine care, you want a dentist who actually understands what you’re going through.
That’s where real experience makes the difference. After three decades of serving Bethlehem, NY and Albany County families, we’ve seen it all—and more importantly, we’ve helped thousands of patients get back to eating, speaking, and smiling without worry.
Whether you need emergency relief from a throbbing tooth, want to finally address that chipped front tooth, or you’re ready to tackle years of avoided dental work, you’ll get the kind of care that actually solves problems. No band-aid treatments or rushed appointments.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been taking care of Bethlehem, NY families since 1988, back when the town was still growing into the community you know today. As a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine, he’s watched this area evolve while building lasting relationships with patients who trust him with their families’ smiles.
What sets our practice apart in Albany County isn’t just longevity—it’s the way we approach each patient. We know that dental anxiety is real. Insurance can be confusing. Dental emergencies never happen at convenient times.
That’s why we’ve built our entire practice around making dental care accessible, comfortable, and genuinely helpful. You’ll find us treating everyone from young families in the Cedar Hill area to longtime residents near the Four Corners, understanding the unique needs of our Bethlehem, NY community.
 
															Getting the dental care you need shouldn’t be complicated. When you call our Bethlehem, NY office, you’ll speak with someone who can actually help you—not a call center or answering service that doesn’t know your situation.
We start with understanding what brought you in. Whether it’s pain that’s keeping you up at night, a routine cleaning that’s overdue, or a cosmetic concern you’ve been putting off, we listen first. Then we examine thoroughly, explain what we find in plain terms, and discuss your options without pressure or dental jargon.
If you’re anxious about dental work, we’ll talk through sedation dentistry options that can help you relax completely. If you’re concerned about cost, we’ll review your insurance coverage and discuss payment plans that actually work for your budget.
Most routine treatments can be completed in one visit. More complex procedures are broken down into manageable steps. And we’re always available if questions or concerns come up between appointments.
 
															Ready to get started?
You won’t need to drive all over Albany County to get the dental care you need. Our Bethlehem, NY practice offers everything from routine cleanings and fillings to advanced cosmetic procedures and emergency care.
For families, that means one dentist who knows your history, your concerns, and your goals. For busy professionals, it means fewer appointments at different offices. For anyone dealing with dental anxiety, it means building trust with one team instead of starting over with specialists across the region.
We handle general dentistry like cleanings, fillings, and dental crowns alongside cosmetic treatments including teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and smile makeovers. Need dental implants to replace missing teeth? We do those too. Emergency situations? We’re available when you need us most.
This comprehensive approach works especially well for Bethlehem, NY residents who value convenience and consistency. Instead of managing multiple dental providers, you get coordinated care from a team that knows you and your family’s dental history.
 
															Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and will verify your coverage before treatment begins. We’ll also help you understand exactly what your plan covers for any recommended procedures.
If your insurance doesn’t cover everything you need, or if you don’t have dental insurance, we offer flexible payment plans that make quality dental care affordable. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting the treatment you need, so we work with each patient to find payment options that fit their budget.
Before any major treatment, we’ll provide a clear estimate of costs and discuss all your payment options upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honest pricing and flexible solutions that work for Bethlehem, NY families.
Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and Dr. Kupetz has been helping anxious patients feel comfortable for over 30 years. We specialize in sedation dentistry, offering different levels of sedation depending on your comfort needs.
For mild anxiety, we create a calm environment and take extra time to explain each step of your treatment. For moderate to severe anxiety, we offer safe, effective sedation options that help you relax completely during procedures. Many patients tell us they felt like they were dreaming and barely remember the appointment.
We never rush anxious patients or make them feel embarrassed about their fears. Instead, we work at your pace and use proven techniques to help you feel safe and comfortable throughout your visit.
Call our office immediately at 845-372-5975, even if it’s after hours or on weekends. Dr. Kupetz understands that dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and we make ourselves available when patients need urgent care.
For severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, broken crowns, or other urgent situations, we’ll get you in as quickly as possible—often the same day. While you’re waiting, we can provide guidance over the phone about immediate steps to take for pain relief or to preserve a damaged tooth.
Our emergency care focuses on stopping pain, preventing further damage, and getting you stable quickly. We keep emergency appointment slots available specifically for these situations, so you won’t be waiting days or weeks when you’re in serious discomfort.
