You shouldn’t have to hide your smile or avoid photos. When your teeth look and feel their best, everything changes—your confidence, how others see you, even how you see yourself.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has spent over three decades helping Dutchess County residents achieve exactly that. Whether you’re dealing with stained teeth, gaps, chips, or missing teeth, modern cosmetic dentistry can address these issues more effectively than ever before.
The difference isn’t just cosmetic. When your bite is properly aligned and your teeth are healthy, you’ll experience less jaw pain, fewer headaches, and better overall oral health. That’s the kind of comprehensive care that changes how you feel every single day.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Wappingers Falls and Dutchess County since 1988. That’s over 30 years of helping local families with everything from routine cleanings to complex smile makeovers.

Our Wappingers Falls dental practice offers comprehensive services so you don’t need to visit multiple specialists. From routine cleanings and fillings to advanced cosmetic procedures like porcelain veneers and dental implants, we handle it all.
For residents of Dutchess County dealing with dental anxiety, our sedation dentistry options—including oral, inhaled, and IV sedation—can make even complex procedures completely comfortable. We’ve helped hundreds of patients overcome their dental fears and get the care they need.
Emergency situations don’t wait for business hours. That’s why Dr. Kupetz makes himself available for urgent dental problems, even on weekends and holidays. When you’re in pain, you need relief fast, and we understand that.
We offer three types of sedation to help anxious patients feel completely comfortable during their dental treatment. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment that helps you relax while remaining conscious and able to respond.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is inhaled through a small mask and provides immediate relaxation that wears off quickly after treatment. For patients with severe anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures, IV sedation delivers medication directly into your bloodstream for deeper relaxation.
Dr. Kupetz will discuss which option is best for your specific situation and medical history. 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. 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. Full mouth reconstruction costs vary widely based on your individual needs and can range from $15,000-50,000 or more.
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 work with most major dental insurance plans and will help you understand your coverage before treatment begins. Insurance typically covers preventive care like cleanings and exams at 100%, basic procedures like fillings at 80%, and major work like crowns at 50%.
Cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or veneers are usually not covered by insurance since they’re considered elective. However, if a cosmetic treatment also addresses a functional problem, portions may be covered.
We’ll verify your benefits, submit claims directly to your insurance company, and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront. For treatments not covered by insurance, we offer payment plans and accept various forms of payment to make care accessible.
When you call our office with a dental emergency, we’ll assess your situation over the phone and get you seen as quickly as possible—often the same day, even on weekends when necessary. Common emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken crowns, or facial swelling.
For severe pain, we can prescribe antibiotics or pain medication to provide relief until you can be seen. If you’ve knocked out a tooth, keep it moist and get to our office immediately—the sooner we can address it, the better chance we have of saving the tooth.
Dr. Kupetz understands that dental emergencies are stressful and painful. Our goal is to eliminate your pain quickly and address the underlying problem to prevent future issues.
Treatment timelines vary depending on the procedure and your specific situation. Professional teeth whitening can be completed in a single 60-90 minute appointment, with results lasting 1-3 years with proper care.
Porcelain veneers typically require two appointments spaced 2-3 weeks apart—the first to prepare your teeth and take impressions, the second to place the custom veneers. Dental implants take longer, usually 3-6 months total, as the implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone before the crown is placed.
Full mouth reconstructions can take several months to complete, depending on the complexity and number of procedures involved. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed timeline for your specific treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect.
Our focus on patient comfort sets us apart, especially for people who have anxiety about dental care. Dr. Kupetz has specialized in sedation dentistry for over 30 years, helping hundreds of patients receive care they previously avoided due to fear.
We also prioritize accessibility—offering emergency care even on weekends and holidays when other practices are closed. Many patients have been surprised to receive care on Sunday evenings or holiday weekends when they were in severe pain.
Finally, our comprehensive approach means you can receive everything from routine cleanings to complex cosmetic work in one location. You won’t need to visit multiple specialists or coordinate care between different offices—we handle it all right here in Wappingers Falls.
