You stop worrying about that nagging tooth pain or avoiding certain foods. Your smile becomes something you’re proud of instead of something you hide.
Regular dental care means catching problems early when they’re simple fixes, not expensive emergencies. Your teeth feel clean, your breath stays fresh, and you actually look forward to showing off your smile.
For families in West Hurley and Ulster County, having a trusted local dentist means your oral health stays on track without the hassle of long drives or unfamiliar offices every time you need care.
Dr. Scott Kupetz understands that finding quality dental care in rural areas can be challenging. That’s why our West Hurley practice focuses on providing comprehensive services that typically require multiple specialists or trips to larger cities.
Located in the heart of Ulster County, our practice has been helping local families maintain healthy smiles through preventive care, restorative treatments, and cosmetic dentistry. Our approach is straightforward – listen to what you need, explain your options clearly, and deliver care that actually solves your problems.
Whether you’re dealing with a dental emergency, want to improve your smile, or just need reliable family dental care, you’ll find the expertise and personal attention that makes the difference.
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive evaluation that goes beyond just looking at your teeth. Dr. Kupetz reviews your medical history, discusses any concerns you have, and performs a thorough examination to understand your current oral health.
You’ll get a professional cleaning and detailed assessment of what’s working well and what needs attention. If treatment is recommended, you’ll receive a clear explanation of your options, expected outcomes, and costs before any work begins.
Our goal is always to help you make informed decisions about your dental health. No pressure tactics, no surprise procedures – just honest recommendations based on what will actually improve your oral health and quality of life.

Dr. Scott Kupetz provides comprehensive dental care including general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and restorative treatments. Preventive services include routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and oral cancer screenings for early detection of problems.
Cosmetic options range from professional teeth whitening and tooth bonding to porcelain veneers and complete smile makeovers. Restorative treatments include dental crowns, bridges, and solutions for missing or damaged teeth that restore both function and appearance.
Our practice is equipped to handle most dental needs locally, which is especially valuable for Ulster County families who previously had to travel significant distances for specialized care.
The choice depends on the current condition of your teeth and what you’re trying to achieve. Porcelain veneers work best when your teeth are structurally sound but have cosmetic concerns like staining, minor chips, small gaps, or slight misalignment.
Dental crowns are the better option when teeth have significant damage, large existing fillings, or structural problems that need comprehensive protection. Crowns completely cover and strengthen the tooth while also improving appearance.
During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will examine your specific situation and explain which approach gives you the best long-term results based on your tooth condition, budget, and aesthetic goals.
A smile makeover starts with understanding exactly what you want to change about your current smile and what results would make you happiest. Dr. Kupetz will examine your teeth, gums, and bite to assess your oral health and determine what treatments would be most effective.

Yes, we work with most major dental insurance plans to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs. Our team will verify your coverage and help you understand what your plan covers for different treatments.
For procedures not fully covered by insurance, flexible payment options are available to help make your dental care affordable. Our focus is on helping you get the treatment you need without financial stress interfering with your oral health decisions.
It’s helpful to bring your insurance information when you call to schedule so our team can verify your specific benefits and explain your coverage before your appointment.
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and examinations every six months. This schedule allows for early detection and treatment of problems like cavities, gum disease, or other issues when they’re still minor and less expensive to address.
Patients with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or other risk factors may need more frequent visits – sometimes every three to four months. Those with excellent oral health and low risk factors might be able to extend visits to every eight or nine months.
Dr. Kupetz will recommend a schedule based on your individual oral health status, risk factors, and treatment history. Regular visits are your best protection against small problems becoming major treatments.
Our practice focuses on providing comprehensive dental care locally so West Hurley families don’t have to travel to larger cities for quality treatment. Dr. Kupetz takes time with each patient to understand their concerns and explain treatment options thoroughly.
You get personalized attention in a comfortable environment where your questions are welcome and your treatment is tailored to your specific needs and goals. We combine modern dental technology with the personal care and continuity you expect from a local dentist.
Most importantly, our emphasis is on building long-term relationships with patients and helping them maintain optimal oral health through preventive care, patient education, and timely treatment when issues arise.
