1Shot Dental dental x-ray holders are designed and manufactured in New Zealand by Dr Bede McElwee, a dentist of 35 years experience. The product is the result of his frustration with some other equipment on the market that wasted time, was expensive because it was not reusable, and which crucially often produced poor or inconsistent dental x-rays.

Dr Bede McElwee continues to lead the company and is dedicated to improving the process of dental x-rays for dentists and their patients worldwide through his revolutionary product and the community of practice he has built around it. His close relationship with clients and distributors around the world is testament to that commitment and key to the commercial identity of the company.

Using the same philosophical principles Dr McElwee currently has a number of new products in development.
