You stop waking up with jaw pain. Your teeth actually feel clean after appointments instead of just scraped raw. That chipped front tooth gets fixed properly so you’re not covering your smile in photos anymore.
When dental problems get handled before they become emergencies, you save money and avoid those 2 AM panic calls. Your gums stop bleeding when you brush. You can eat ice cream without wincing.
Most importantly, you stop dreading dental visits. With our sedation options available, many patients tell us they barely remember their procedures—they just wake up with better teeth.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been practicing dentistry in Ulster County since 1988, back when Tillson was even quieter than it is today. He’s seen three generations of families and understands what Hudson Valley residents actually need from their dental care.
This isn’t a corporate chain with rotating dentists. Dr. Kupetz graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine and has built his reputation one patient at a time. His focus on sedation dentistry came from seeing too many people avoid necessary care because of anxiety.
Our practice serves families throughout Ulster County, from Tillson and Rosendale to Kingston and New Paltz. When you need emergency care or just want a dentist who won’t judge you for waiting too long between visits, this is where locals come.
First, we talk through what’s been keeping you away from the dentist. No judgment—Dr. Kupetz has heard it all and understands that dental anxiety is real and valid.
Next, we discuss sedation options that fit your comfort level. This might be oral sedation you take before your appointment, nitrous oxide during treatment, or IV sedation for more complex procedures. The goal is keeping you calm and comfortable throughout.
During treatment, our team monitors you closely while Dr. Kupetz handles the dental work. Many patients don’t remember the procedure at all—they just know their teeth feel better afterward. Recovery is straightforward, and we provide clear instructions for any follow-up care you need.

We handle everything from routine cleanings to full smile makeovers. Emergency appointments are available because dental pain doesn’t wait for business hours. Dr. Kupetz has treated everything from knocked-out teeth to severe infections, often seeing patients the same day they call.
For cosmetic work, we offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, and complete smile transformations. Many Ulster County professionals choose us for cosmetic dentistry because our work looks natural—no one can tell you’ve had anything done.
General dentistry includes fillings, root canals, extractions, and preventive care. We work with most insurance plans and offer payment options because dental health shouldn’t depend on your budget. Our practice also provides Botox and Juvederm for patients who want comprehensive facial aesthetics along with their dental care.
Yes, Dr. Kupetz understands that dental emergencies don’t follow schedules. We reserve time slots for urgent cases and have seen patients within hours of their call, even on weekends.
If you’re dealing with severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental infection, call our office immediately. We’ll provide instructions for managing the situation until you can get here and work to see you as quickly as possible.
For true emergencies like trauma or severe pain that isn’t responding to over-the-counter medication, we often can accommodate same-day visits. This has made a significant difference for Ulster County residents who don’t want to wait in hospital emergency rooms for dental problems.
We offer three main types of sedation depending on your anxiety level and the complexity of your treatment. Oral sedation involves taking medication before your appointment—you’ll be relaxed but awake. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation during treatment and wears off quickly.
For patients with severe anxiety or those having extensive work done, IV sedation provides deeper relaxation. You’ll have little to no memory of the procedure while remaining safely monitored throughout.
Dr. Kupetz is specifically trained in sedation dentistry and has helped hundreds of anxious patients receive care they’d been avoiding for years. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable and stress-free their appointments become with the right sedation approach.
Dr. Kupetz has been serving Ulster County families since 1988, making this over 35 years of local practice. He graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine and chose to build his career in the Hudson Valley region.
This longevity means he’s treated multiple generations of families and understands the specific needs of rural Ulster County residents. He’s seen how the area has changed while maintaining his commitment to personalized, compassionate dental care.
His experience includes everything from routine family dentistry to complex cosmetic reconstructions. Patients often comment that his extensive experience shows in both his technical skill and his ability to put nervous patients at ease during treatment.
We work with most major dental insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment begins. Our office staff handles insurance paperwork and helps maximize your coverage for necessary procedures.
For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we offer flexible payment options including payment plans that let you spread costs over time. We believe financial concerns shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting necessary dental care.
We also provide complimentary consultations so you can understand your treatment options and associated costs before making decisions. This transparency helps patients plan for their dental care without surprise expenses.
Our cosmetic services include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and complete smile makeovers. We also offer tooth bonding for minor repairs and dental bridges to replace missing teeth.
Dr. Kupetz takes a conservative approach to cosmetic work, focusing on natural-looking results that enhance your existing features rather than creating an artificial appearance. Many patients appreciate that their cosmetic work looks like their natural teeth, just better.
We also provide Botox and Juvederm treatments for patients who want to address facial aging along with their dental improvements. This comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics is popular among Ulster County professionals who want subtle, natural-looking enhancements.
Call our office at 845-372-5975 to schedule your appointment. We offer complimentary consultations for new patients, which gives you a chance to meet Dr. Kupetz and discuss your dental needs without pressure.
Our scheduling team will work with your availability and can often accommodate urgent appointments within 24-48 hours. We understand that taking time off work for dental appointments can be challenging, so we try to be flexible with scheduling.
For existing patients, we recommend scheduling routine cleanings and checkups in advance. However, if you develop dental problems between visits, don’t hesitate to call—we always make room for patients who need immediate attention.
