That throbbing tooth pain that keeps you awake at night doesn’t wait for business hours. Neither do we. When you’re dealing with a dental emergency in Ulster County, you need someone who actually answers the phone and can see you the same day—even on weekends.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been providing emergency dental care to Saugerties South residents for over three decades. Whether it’s a cracked tooth from biting down wrong, a crown that came loose, or pain so severe you can’t function, we prioritize urgent cases and get you the relief you need fast.
You shouldn’t have to choose between suffering through the weekend or paying emergency room prices for temporary solutions that don’t actually fix the problem. Our practice handles the full spectrum of dental emergencies with the expertise and equipment to provide real, lasting solutions.
Dr. Scott Kupetz graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine in 1988 and has been serving families throughout Ulster County, Dutchess County, and the surrounding areas ever since. What sets our practice apart isn’t just the decades of experience—it’s our understanding that dental anxiety is real and shouldn’t prevent you from getting the care you need.
We’ve built our reputation on being the practice that families trust when they’re scared, in pain, or have been putting off treatment for years. Our sedation dentistry options, from mild oral sedation to IV sedation with board-certified anesthesiologists, mean even the most anxious patients can receive comprehensive care comfortably.
Ulster County residents particularly appreciate our availability during emergencies and our comprehensive approach that handles everything from routine cleanings to complex reconstructive work in one location. You won’t get shuffled between multiple specialists or wait weeks for an appointment when you’re in pain.
Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation where Dr. Kupetz listens to your concerns, reviews your dental history, and discusses any anxiety or fears you might have. We’ll explain exactly what needs to be done and walk you through all your options, including sedation dentistry if that would help you feel more comfortable.
During treatment, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art equipment and techniques that make procedures more efficient and less uncomfortable. If you’re receiving sedation, board-certified anesthesiologists ensure your safety and comfort throughout the entire process.
After your treatment, you’ll receive clear instructions for care and recovery, plus direct access to Dr. Kupetz for any questions or concerns. If you need emergency care, our practice prioritizes urgent cases and we can often see you the same day—even on weekends or holidays when other offices are closed.

Yes, Dr. Kupetz prioritizes emergency cases and can often see patients the same day, even on weekends and holidays when other practices are closed. When you call with a dental emergency, you’ll speak directly with our office staff who can assess your situation and determine how quickly you need to be seen.
Common emergencies we treat include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken crowns or fillings, abscesses, and facial trauma. The key is calling as soon as the emergency occurs rather than waiting and hoping the problem resolves on its own. We understand that dental pain doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we.
We offer multiple levels of sedation dentistry to help anxious patients feel completely comfortable during treatment. Options range from mild oral sedation that helps you relax while remaining conscious, to deeper IV sedation administered by board-certified anesthesiologists for more extensive procedures.
The right sedation level depends on your anxiety level, the complexity of your treatment, and your medical history. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will discuss which option would work best for you and explain exactly what to expect before, during, and after your procedure. Many patients are surprised to discover they can receive dental care comfortably when the right sedation approach is used.
Cosmetic dental costs vary significantly based on the specific treatment and complexity of your case. Professional teeth whitening typically ranges from $300-800, while porcelain veneers can cost $1,000-2,500 per tooth depending on the materials and technique used.
Dental implants, including the implant, abutment, and crown, generally range from $3,000-5,000 per tooth. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll provide specific cost estimates for your treatment plan. We also offer payment plans and can help you understand your insurance coverage to make treatment more affordable.
Yes, we accept most dental insurance plans and will work directly with your insurance company to maximize your benefits. We’ll provide a clear, detailed estimate of your treatment costs and what your insurance will cover before beginning any work, so there are no surprises.
For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we offer flexible payment plans to help make dental care more affordable. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards, and our staff can help you explore financing options that fit your budget. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the dental care you need.
