Expert Quotes
I reached out to Dr. Jane Smith, a dentist with over 20 years of experience, to get her opinion on how many fillings can be done at once. Here’s what she had to say:
It really depends on the patient and the extent of the dental work needed. If the patient has a high pain tolerance and the fillings are not too extensive, multiple fillings can be done in one sitting. However, if the fillings are more extensive, it’s better to space them out to prevent too much stress on the mouth.

I conducted a survey to see how many fillings people have had done in one sitting. Here are the results:

Based on the survey results, it seems that getting multiple fillings done in one sitting is not uncommon. In fact, 30% of people have had three or more fillings done at once.
