You deserve a dentist who understands that your time matters and your comfort comes first. When you choose our Pine Hill dental practice, you’re getting more than just a cleaning or filling—you’re getting a partner committed to your long-term oral health.
Most patients tell us they wish they’d found us sooner. We focus on preventing problems before they start, treating issues with the least invasive methods possible, and ensuring you never feel rushed or uncomfortable during your visit.
Your smile affects how you feel about yourself every single day. Whether you need routine care, emergency treatment, or want to explore cosmetic options like teeth whitening or veneers, you’ll leave knowing exactly what’s happening with your oral health and feeling confident about your treatment plan.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Ulster County families for over 30 years, building a reputation based on treating every patient like family. After graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine in 1988, he’s dedicated our practice to providing comprehensive dental care that puts your comfort and health first.
Pine Hill residents appreciate having a dentist who understands the unique needs of our close-knit Ulster County community. We know that finding time for dental appointments can be challenging in a rural area, which is why we offer flexible scheduling and emergency availability when you need it most.
What sets our practice apart is our commitment to anxiety-free dentistry. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist due to fear or past negative experiences, our sedation options help you get the care you need without stress or discomfort.
Your first visit starts with a comprehensive examination where we listen to your concerns and understand your dental history. We use advanced diagnostic tools to get a complete picture of your oral health, explaining everything in plain terms so you know exactly what we’re seeing.
Next, we create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs, timeline, and budget. We never pressure you into unnecessary procedures, and we always discuss your options so you can make informed decisions about your dental care.
During treatment, your comfort remains our priority. Whether you need sedation for anxiety or simply want to understand each step of the process, we ensure you feel relaxed and informed. Most procedures are completed efficiently, and we provide clear aftercare instructions to support your healing and maintain your oral health long-term.

Our Pine Hill practice offers everything from routine cleanings and preventive care to advanced cosmetic and restorative treatments. We provide family dentistry for all ages, emergency dental care when you need it most, and cosmetic options like professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and complete smile makeovers.
Ulster County residents often face unique challenges when it comes to accessing quality dental care. That’s why we’ve invested in advanced technology and maintain flexible scheduling to better serve our Pine Hill community. Our sedation dentistry options are particularly valuable for patients who have delayed care due to anxiety or fear.
We also understand the importance of emergency dental care in a rural community like Pine Hill. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache, broken tooth, or lost filling, we prioritize emergency appointments and often accommodate same-day visits to get you out of pain quickly and effectively.
Yes, we specialize in sedation dentistry to help anxious patients receive the care they need comfortably. Dr. Kupetz understands that dental anxiety is real and affects many people’s willingness to seek necessary treatment.
We offer several sedation options including oral sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and IV sedation depending on your level of anxiety and the complexity of your treatment. These options help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your entire procedure.
Many patients are surprised by how easy and stress-free their appointments become with sedation. You’ll remain conscious and able to respond, but you’ll feel calm and may have little memory of the procedure afterward, making future visits much easier.
Dental emergencies require immediate attention, and we prioritize getting you seen as quickly as possible. When you call with an emergency, we’ll assess your situation over the phone and often accommodate same-day appointments, even on weekends when possible.
Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and facial swelling. We’ll focus on relieving your pain first, then address the underlying problem to prevent further complications or infection.
Our goal during emergency visits is to stabilize your condition and get you comfortable quickly. We’ll explain what happened, discuss your treatment options clearly, and help you understand the next steps for complete healing and prevention of future issues.
Most people with good overall oral health are candidates for cosmetic dentistry. Whether you’re dealing with stained teeth, gaps, chips, or want a complete smile makeover, we can help you explore your options during a consultation.
During your visit, we’ll examine your teeth and gums, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain which treatments might work best for your specific situation. Options range from simple professional teeth whitening to more comprehensive treatments like porcelain veneers or dental crowns.
The key is having realistic expectations and understanding that cosmetic treatments work best when your underlying oral health is solid. We’ll address any necessary preventive or restorative work first, then help you achieve the beautiful, confident smile you’re looking for.
We work with most major dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits effectively. Our office staff will verify your coverage before your appointment and explain what treatments are covered under your specific plan.
For patients without insurance, we offer flexible payment options and can discuss treatment plans that fit your budget. We believe that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent you from getting necessary dental care in Pine Hill.
We’ll always provide you with a clear, detailed estimate of costs before beginning any treatment, and we’re happy to work with you to create a payment plan that makes your dental care affordable and manageable for your family.
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and checkups every six months. These regular visits allow us to catch problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat effectively.
However, some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health status, gum disease risk, or medical conditions that affect their mouth. We’ll recommend a personalized schedule that’s right for your individual needs and health situation.
Between visits, maintaining good oral hygiene at home with proper brushing and flossing is essential. We’ll provide personalized recommendations for your home care routine and suggest specific products that work best for your particular oral health needs.
Our practice combines over 30 years of experience with a genuine commitment to patient comfort and community service. Dr. Kupetz has built lasting relationships with Ulster County families by providing personalized care that puts your individual needs first.
We specialize in helping anxious patients through comprehensive sedation dentistry options, and we’re known throughout Pine Hill for our emergency availability when you need care most. Our approach is conservative—we recommend only the treatments you actually need and explain all your options clearly.
What patients appreciate most is our unhurried approach to care. We take time to listen to your concerns, explain procedures thoroughly, and ensure you feel comfortable and fully informed throughout every visit. Many patients tell us we’ve completely changed their perspective on dental care for the better.
