Hear from Our Customers
You walk out with a smile you’re proud to show off. No more covering your mouth when you laugh. No more avoiding photos. No more putting off that important conversation because you’re self-conscious about your teeth.
That’s what happens when you work with a dentist who’s been perfecting smiles in Ulster County for over 30 years. We don’t just fix teeth—we fix the problems that have been holding you back.
Whether it’s a simple cleaning that’s overdue, cosmetic work that transforms your confidence, or emergency care when you need it most, you get results that actually matter to your daily life.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Walker Valley and the broader Ulster County community since 1988. That’s over 30 years of understanding exactly what keeps people away from the dentist—and more importantly, how to fix it.
Our practice isn’t just another dental office. It’s a certified sedation dentistry facility where patients with high anxiety and dental phobias finally get the care they need. You can listen to your favorite music and watch TV during treatment, because comfort isn’t an afterthought here.
Walker Valley residents know they can count on us for everything from routine care to complex cosmetic procedures, emergency situations to full smile makeovers. When you need a dentist in Ulster County who combines advanced training with genuine understanding, this is where you go.
Your first visit starts with a real conversation about what’s been bothering you and what you want to achieve. Dr. Kupetz takes time to understand your concerns, your goals, and yes—your fears.
Next comes a thorough examination using state-of-the-art technology. You’ll know exactly what needs attention and why. No dental jargon, no pressure tactics. Just clear explanations about your options and what each one means for you.
If you need sedation to feel comfortable, that’s arranged before any work begins. Whether it’s oral, inhaled, or IV sedation, you’ll be relaxed and pain-free throughout your procedure. Many patients are surprised how easy the whole experience becomes when anxiety is no longer a factor.

Walker Valley patients get access to a complete range of dental services without the hassle of multiple referrals. We handle general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, emergency care, and sedation dentistry all in one location.
Cosmetic services include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and complete smile makeovers. For patients wanting to address facial aesthetics alongside their dental work, Botox and Juvederm treatments are available to complement your new smile.
Ulster County residents also benefit from emergency dental care when unexpected problems arise. Broken teeth, severe pain, lost crowns—these situations get immediate attention because we understand that dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. We accept most insurance plans and offer payment options to make quality dental care accessible to Walker Valley families.
Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled methods to help you relax during dental procedures. We offer three types: oral sedation (pills taken before your appointment), inhaled sedation (nitrous oxide), and IV sedation for deeper relaxation.
The level of sedation is customized to your anxiety level and the complexity of your procedure. Most patients remain conscious but feel deeply relaxed and often have little memory of the treatment afterward. You’ll need someone to drive you home after oral or IV sedation.
This approach has helped thousands of patients in Ulster County overcome their dental fears and get the care they need. Many patients who haven’t seen a dentist in years because of anxiety find they can finally maintain regular dental health with sedation options.
We prioritize emergency patients and typically see urgent cases within 24 hours. When you call with a dental emergency, our staff will ask about your symptoms and provide immediate guidance for managing pain until your appointment.
Common emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost crowns or fillings, and facial swelling. We focus first on relieving your pain, then address the underlying problem. Many emergency situations can be resolved in a single visit.
If your emergency happens after hours, our office phone provides instructions for reaching Dr. Kupetz. Don’t wait if you’re experiencing severe pain or trauma—dental emergencies often worsen without prompt treatment and can lead to more complex problems later.
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and work directly with insurance companies to maximize your benefits. Our staff will verify your coverage before treatment and explain what your plan covers.
For procedures not fully covered by insurance, payment plans are available to make treatment affordable. This is especially helpful for cosmetic procedures like veneers or teeth whitening, which many insurance plans don’t cover.
Our office staff handles insurance paperwork and pre-authorizations, so you don’t have to navigate the process alone. We’ll also provide cost estimates upfront so you can make informed decisions about your treatment without surprise charges later.
We offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry including professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and complete smile makeovers. Each treatment is customized to your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Teeth whitening can dramatically improve discolored or stained teeth, often in a single visit. Porcelain veneers address multiple cosmetic issues at once—chips, gaps, stains, and minor alignment problems. Dental crowns restore damaged teeth while improving their appearance.
For patients wanting facial rejuvenation alongside their dental work, Botox and Juvederm treatments are available. These complement your smile makeover by addressing fine lines around the mouth and enhancing lip fullness for a complete aesthetic transformation.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been providing dental care to Ulster County residents since 1988—over 30 years of experience serving the Walker Valley area and surrounding communities. He graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine and has maintained a continuous practice focused on patient comfort and advanced dental techniques.
This extensive experience means we’ve seen virtually every type of dental situation and developed expertise in handling complex cases. We’ve also built long-term relationships with families, often treating multiple generations of the same family.
Our commitment to continuing education ensures patients benefit from the latest advances in dental technology and techniques. This combination of experience and ongoing learning has made our practice a trusted choice for comprehensive dental care throughout the Hudson Valley region.
The primary difference is our focus on patient comfort, especially for those with dental anxiety. As a certified sedation dentistry facility, we can provide safe, effective sedation options that most general dental practices don’t offer.
Our practice combines advanced dental technology with amenities like music and television during treatment. This creates a more comfortable environment where patients can actually relax during procedures instead of enduring them.
We also provide comprehensive care under one roof—from routine cleanings to complex cosmetic work to emergency situations. This means fewer referrals and more continuity in your dental care. After 30+ years in practice, our focus remains on building trust through transparent communication and consistently excellent results.
