The average dentist sees between 10 to 12 dental patients at most which is all they could see in a day.
So if a dentist office needs to see more than 12 dentist per day then they need more dentists to perform the procedures and see the dental patients.
In a year one dentist could see and treat 1,000 to 1,500 patients per year or around 200 to 300 dental patients per week.
Some larger dentist offices have at least 2 or 3 dentists on hand for taking care of and seeing the dental patients especially if the dentist office is an a very large populated area.
