Dr. Kupetz specializes in sedation dentistry and we offer multiple options to help anxious patients feel completely comfortable. Oral sedation involves taking medication before your appointment that helps you relax while remaining conscious and able to respond.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides immediate relaxation and wears off quickly after your procedure. For patients with severe dental anxiety, IV sedation may be recommended for complex treatments. Dr. Kupetz has over 30 years of experience helping nervous patients overcome their fears and get the dental care they need.
The key is choosing the right approach for your specific anxiety level and medical history. Many patients are surprised to discover they can receive dental treatment comfortably when the proper sedation method is used.
We understand that dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, which is why emergency appointments are available even on weekends and holidays. When you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, have a knocked-out tooth, or lost a filling or crown, you can typically be seen the same day.
We maintain after-hours availability for urgent situations that can’t wait until the next business day. This level of emergency care simply isn’t available at most dental practices, especially corporate chains that prioritize scheduled appointments over urgent patient needs.
For true emergencies, call our office number and follow the prompts to reach Dr. Kupetz directly. We’re committed to providing immediate relief when you’re in pain.
We offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry including professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, bridges, and complete smile makeovers. Digital smile design technology allows you to see potential results before any treatment begins.
Professional teeth whitening can be completed in a single office visit for immediate results, or you can choose custom take-home trays for gradual improvement. Porcelain veneers are ideal for addressing multiple cosmetic concerns like chips, gaps, stains, or irregular tooth shapes in one treatment.
For comprehensive smile transformations, we create customized makeover plans that might combine veneers, crowns, whitening, and minor orthodontic work. Each plan is tailored to your facial features, lifestyle, and specific goals to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance.
Yes, we provide dental implants as a permanent solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium posts that replace tooth roots and provide support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. The complete implant process typically takes 3-6 months from start to finish.
Single tooth implants are ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth. For patients missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges or dentures provide superior stability and function compared to traditional removable options.

Whether you’re dealing with pain, want to improve your smile, or simply need routine care, you’ll never feel rushed or pressured into treatments you don’t understand. If treatment is recommended, you’ll receive a detailed explanation of your options, timeline, and costs before making any decisions.
The examination also includes an oral cancer screening and evaluation of your gums, bite, and jaw function. For anxious patients, this first visit is an opportunity to discuss sedation options and address any fears about dental treatment in a comfortable, no-pressure environment.
