Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Ulster County and the greater Hudson Valley region for over 30 years, building lasting relationships with families throughout Gardiner, New Paltz, Highland, and surrounding communities. Our practice combines advanced dental techniques with genuine care for each patient’s unique needs.
Located in the heart of Ulster County, we understand the specific needs of local families. From busy parents juggling work and family schedules to seniors seeking comfortable, comprehensive care, we’ve designed our services around what matters most to our community.
What sets us apart is our commitment to being there when you need us most. We provide emergency dental services, including weekend availability, because dental emergencies don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination where we listen to your concerns and assess your current oral health. We use advanced diagnostic technology to identify any issues early, when they’re most treatable and cost-effective to address.
Next, we develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your schedule, budget, and comfort level. Whether you need a simple cleaning, cosmetic enhancement, or complex restorative work, we explain every step clearly so you can make informed decisions about your care.
During treatment, our focus is on your comfort. We offer sedation options for anxious patients and use the latest pain management techniques. Our goal is to make every visit as comfortable as possible while delivering exceptional results that last.

For patients dealing with tooth loss, we provide dental implants that function and feel like natural teeth. Our restorative services include crowns, bridges, and full mouth reconstruction for those needing comprehensive treatment.
Gardiner residents particularly appreciate our emergency dental services. When you’re dealing with severe tooth pain, a broken crown, or any urgent dental issue, we’re available to provide same-day relief. This level of accessibility is especially important for our rural Ulster County patients who may have limited options for immediate care.
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and work directly with your provider to maximize your benefits. We understand that dental care is an important investment, which is why we also offer flexible payment options including cash, credit cards, and structured payment plans.
Our office staff will verify your insurance coverage before your appointment and explain exactly what services are covered. For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we’ll discuss all available payment options to make your care affordable and accessible.
We believe that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent you from getting the dental care you need, so we work with each patient to find a solution that fits their budget and allows them to maintain optimal oral health.
We provide comprehensive emergency dental care for urgent situations including severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, dental abscesses, and trauma-related injuries. Our emergency services are available seven days a week, including weekends and holidays.
When you call our emergency line, Dr. Kupetz personally responds to assess your situation and provide immediate guidance. In many cases, we can see you the same day to provide relief and prevent further complications. This rapid response has been crucial for many Ulster County patients who’ve experienced dental emergencies.
Our emergency care includes pain management, temporary repairs, and definitive treatment when possible. We maintain emergency supplies and equipment to handle most urgent situations immediately, so you don’t have to suffer through pain or risk further damage while waiting for care.
We understand that dental anxiety affects many people, and we’ve developed comprehensive approaches to help you feel comfortable and relaxed during your visit. We are certified in sedation dentistry, offering various levels of sedation from mild relaxation to deeper sedation for more anxious patients.
Beyond sedation options, we focus on clear communication throughout every procedure. We explain what we’re doing at each step and give you control over the pace of treatment. Many patients find that understanding the process helps reduce their anxiety significantly.
Our office environment is designed to be calming and welcoming, and our staff is specially trained to work with anxious patients. We take the time needed to build trust and ensure you feel completely comfortable before beginning any treatment. Many of our most anxious patients have become our most confident advocates once they experience our gentle approach to care.
We offer a complete range of cosmetic dental services to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Our most popular treatments include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, and smile makeovers that combine multiple procedures for dramatic results.
For patients with damaged or discolored teeth, porcelain crowns and veneers can create a natural-looking, beautiful smile. We also provide orthodontic options and work with you to determine the best approach for your specific goals and timeline.
Each cosmetic treatment is customized to complement your facial features and personal preferences. We use advanced materials and techniques that provide long-lasting, natural-looking results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss all available options and help you understand what each treatment can accomplish for your unique situation.
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and examinations every six months, but the ideal frequency depends on your individual oral health needs. Some patients with gum disease or other conditions may need more frequent visits, while others with excellent oral health might extend the interval slightly.
Regular preventive visits allow us to catch problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat. During these appointments, we perform thorough cleanings, check for cavities, assess gum health, and screen for oral cancer and other conditions.
For Gardiner and Ulster County residents, maintaining consistent preventive care is especially important given the rural location and limited access to specialists. Regular visits help ensure that any issues are addressed promptly before they become emergencies requiring more extensive treatment.
Your first visit begins with a warm welcome from our staff and a comprehensive health history review. We’ll discuss your current concerns, past dental experiences, and goals for your oral health. This conversation helps us understand your needs and any anxieties you might have.
The clinical portion includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, along with necessary X-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health. We use advanced diagnostic technology to identify any issues that might not be visible during the visual examination alone.
After the examination, Dr. Kupetz will discuss his findings with you in detail, explaining any recommended treatments and answering all your questions. We believe in informed consent and want you to understand your options before making any decisions. If immediate treatment is needed, we can often provide it during the same visit, or we’ll schedule follow-up appointments that work with your schedule.
