Company Profile

1Shot Dental is a New Zealand-based dental product company specializing in innovative intraoral dental X-ray holders designed to make dental radiography simpler, faster, more consistent, reusable, and easier for dental professionals. The company’s products were designed and are manufactured in New Zealand by Dr Bede McElwee (B.D.S., D.R.S.), a dentist with more than 35 years of professional experience. The concept behind 1Shot Dental was developed from Dr McElwee’s practical experience in dentistry and his frustration with conventional X-ray positioning equipment that could be time-consuming, expensive, difficult to use, non-reusable, and capable of producing inconsistent radiographic results. In response, he developed the 1shot X-ray holder system as a simple, one-piece solution specifically designed for dental professionals. Unlike conventional holders that may use separate aiming rings, sliding components, or plug-in attachments, 1shot holders are one-piece products and are designed to be fully autoclavable and reusable more than 100 times, allowing dental practices to sterilize the holders together with other instruments after patient use. The company focuses specifically on improving the workflow and reliability of intraoral dental X-rays, including bitewing, anterior, posterior, periapical, and endodontic radiographs. Its products are compatible with a range of digital dental sensors, phosphor plates (PSP), and conventional dental film, with different holder models designed for various sensor sizes and brands. According to the company, 1shot products are used by dental professionals in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Europe, and other international markets, supported by an established network of distributors and agents. The company also provides product instructions, alignment guidance, sterilization and storage information, and product compatibility information to help dental professionals use its X-ray holders correctly. 1Shot Dental offers worldwide shipping, with its website stating that standard tracked air-post delivery generally takes approximately 4–10 days. The company emphasizes New Zealand manufacturing, practical dental experience, product simplicity, sterilizability, reusability, and affordability as important elements of its value proposition. Its product range currently includes Classic 1shot holders for different digital sensor systems, phosphor plates and film, as well as Universal & Emergency (U&E) holders designed to accommodate multiple sizes and types of sensors, phosphor plates, and film. The company states that additional dental products are also under development, indicating an ongoing focus on product innovation and expansion within the dental market. 1Shot Dental maintains relationships with international distributors, including dental supply companies in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, giving the company an established international distribution presence rather than operating solely as a local New Zealand supplier.
