You shouldn’t have to hide your teeth when you laugh or avoid photos because you’re embarrassed. When you choose the right dentist, everything changes. Your teeth stop hurting, your smile looks natural and healthy, and you actually look forward to showing it off.
The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Patients tell us they feel more confident at work, more comfortable in social situations, and genuinely happier about how they look. That’s what happens when you get dental care that actually works.
Whether you need emergency treatment for sudden pain or you’re ready to transform your smile with cosmetic dentistry, the right care makes all the difference in how you feel about yourself.

Dr. Kupetz specializes in sedation dentistry specifically for anxious patients. We offer oral sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation depending on your anxiety level and the complexity of treatment needed. Many patients who haven’t been to a dentist in years because of fear find they can finally get the care they need.
Our approach focuses on keeping you completely comfortable and unaware of what’s happening during procedures. You’ll discuss your anxiety level during consultation, and Dr. Kupetz will recommend the best sedation option for your specific situation. Most patients are surprised how relaxed and comfortable they feel throughout treatment.
We accept most major dental insurance plans including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, and many others.

High Falls families appreciate our transparent approach to costs. You’ll know exactly what your insurance covers and what your out-of-pocket costs will be before any treatment begins. We work with patients to make necessary dental care affordable, whether that’s emergency treatment or elective cosmetic procedures.
The complete dental implant process typically takes 3-6 months from start to finish, though this varies based on your individual healing and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are needed. The implant placement appointment itself usually takes 1-2 hours per implant.
After placement, you’ll need 3-4 months for the implant to integrate with your jawbone before the final restoration can be attached. Some patients can receive temporary teeth on the same day as implant placement, while others may need to wait until healing is complete. Dr. Kupetz creates a personalized timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect throughout your treatment.
Yes, same-day crowns are available for many situations using advanced CEREC technology. This means you can have a broken or severely decayed tooth restored in a single appointment rather than waiting weeks for a lab-made crown. The CEREC system creates precise, natural-looking crowns that match your existing teeth perfectly.
Same-day crowns are especially convenient for High Falls patients who have busy schedules or difficulty taking time off work for multiple appointments. The entire process from preparation to final placement typically takes 2-3 hours. You’ll leave our office with your permanent crown in place, no temporary crown needed.
Dr. Kupetz offers comprehensive cosmetic dentistry including professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, cosmetic bonding, and complete smile makeovers. We also provide Botox and Juvederm treatments for complete facial aesthetics, addressing fine lines around the mouth and enhancing lip fullness.
Each cosmetic treatment is customized to your specific goals and facial features. Whether you want to whiten discolored teeth, fix chipped or cracked teeth, or completely transform your smile, you’ll get a detailed treatment plan showing expected results. Many High Falls patients combine multiple cosmetic treatments for dramatic smile improvements that look completely natural.
