Hear from Our Customers
You shouldn’t have to choose between dental health and peace of mind. After 30+ years serving Schenectady County, we have perfected the art of anxiety-free dentistry.
Whether you’ve avoided the dentist for months or decades, you’ll find genuine understanding here. No judgment about missed appointments or neglected teeth—just comprehensive care designed around your comfort level.
Our certified sedation options mean you can finally address that nagging tooth pain, get the smile makeover you’ve wanted, or simply maintain the healthy teeth you have. Many patients tell us they wish they’d found us sooner.
Dr. Scott Kupetz graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine and has been serving Schenectady County families since 1988. What started as a commitment to excellent dentistry has evolved into something deeper—helping people overcome the fears that keep them from the care they need.
As one of the few general dentists in the Capital District certified for sedation dentistry, Dr. Kupetz understands that dental anxiety isn’t something you just “get over.” It requires the right approach, the right environment, and a dentist who truly gets it.
Schenectady residents have trusted our practice for generations because we’ve never forgotten that behind every smile is a person who deserves compassionate, judgment-free care.
Your first visit starts with a conversation, not a drill. We’ll discuss your concerns, review your dental history, and create a treatment plan that makes sense for your situation and comfort level.
If you choose sedation, we’ll explain exactly what to expect and ensure you have someone to drive you home. Many patients are surprised by how relaxed and comfortable they feel throughout their entire appointment.
For routine visits, we focus on prevention and early detection. For more complex needs like crowns, implants, or cosmetic work, we break everything down into manageable steps. You’re never pressured into treatment you don’t want or aren’t ready for.

From routine cleanings to complete smile makeovers, our Schenectady dental practice offers the full spectrum of care. We provide general dentistry, cosmetic treatments like veneers and teeth whitening, restorative work including crowns and implants, and emergency services when you need them most.
Schenectady County residents appreciate that we handle everything under one roof. No referrals to multiple specialists unless absolutely necessary. Whether you need a simple filling or full mouth reconstruction, Dr. Kupetz has the experience and technology to deliver lasting results.
Our sedation options—from nitrous oxide to oral conscious sedation—ensure that even the most anxious patients can receive comprehensive care comfortably. Many procedures that once required multiple visits can now be completed in a single, relaxed appointment.
We offer several sedation levels to match your anxiety level and treatment needs. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation and wears off quickly, so you can drive yourself home.
Oral conscious sedation involves taking medication before your appointment, creating deeper relaxation while you remain awake and responsive. For patients with severe anxiety or extensive treatment needs, IV sedation provides the deepest level of comfort while still being conscious.
Dr. Kupetz is certified by New York State and the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, ensuring your safety throughout the process. We’ll discuss which option works best for your specific situation during your consultation.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Schenectady County patients for over 30 years, since graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine in 1988. This extensive experience means he’s seen and successfully treated virtually every dental condition you can imagine.
Many of our current patients have been with us for decades, and we now treat multiple generations of the same families. This longevity in the community reflects not just clinical skill, but the trust and comfort patients feel in our care.
Dr. Kupetz has witnessed significant advances in dental technology and techniques over three decades, always staying current with the latest developments while maintaining the personal, compassionate approach that sets our practice apart.
Dental emergencies don’t follow business hours, and we understand that tooth pain or dental trauma needs immediate attention. Dr. Kupetz provides emergency dental care for situations like severe toothaches, broken teeth, lost crowns or fillings, and dental injuries.
We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day, often within hours of your call. Dr. Kupetz has even come in on weekends and holidays to treat patients in severe pain—because we believe no one should suffer with dental pain when help is available.
Our emergency services include pain relief, temporary repairs, and immediate treatment to prevent further damage. We’ll stabilize your situation quickly, then schedule follow-up care to complete any necessary treatment in a comfortable, planned setting.
Our cosmetic dentistry services can address virtually any smile concern, from minor imperfections to complete smile makeovers. We offer professional teeth whitening that’s far more effective than over-the-counter products, porcelain veneers to correct chips, gaps, and discoloration, and dental crowns to restore damaged teeth.
For missing teeth, dental implants provide the most natural-looking and permanent solution. We also offer tooth bonding for minor repairs, Invisalign for straightening teeth discreetly, and even facial aesthetics like Botox and Juvederm to complement your smile transformation.
What sets our cosmetic work apart is the combination of artistic skill and advanced technology. Dr. Kupetz takes time to understand exactly what you want to achieve, then creates a treatment plan that delivers results you’ll love while maintaining optimal oral health.
You’re not alone—many of our patients haven’t seen a dentist in 5, 10, or even 30+ years. There’s absolutely no judgment here about missed appointments or neglected oral health. Our focus is entirely on where you are now and how we can help you move forward.
We start slowly, often with just an examination and discussion of your concerns and goals. If immediate treatment is needed, we prioritize your comfort with appropriate sedation options. For patients with extensive needs, we create a step-by-step plan that addresses urgent issues first, then works toward your long-term oral health goals.
Many patients are surprised to find that their situation isn’t as bad as they feared, and even when significant work is needed, modern techniques and sedation make treatment far more comfortable than they expected. The hardest part is making that first call—everything gets easier from there.
Three decades of experience has taught us that excellent dentistry is about more than just technical skill—it’s about understanding people. We’ve built our practice around the reality that many people have anxiety about dental care, and we’ve become experts at helping patients overcome those fears.
Our certification in multiple sedation techniques is relatively rare among general dentists, allowing us to provide comprehensive care for even the most anxious patients without referrals to specialists. We also maintain the latest technology while preserving the personal, unhurried approach that larger practices often can’t provide.
Perhaps most importantly, we’ve earned the trust of Schenectady County families over generations. When patients drive from other areas to continue seeing us, or when they refer their own family members, that speaks to the level of care and comfort they experience here. We’re not just your dentist—we’re your partners in lifelong oral health.
