Has anyone had dental scaling done in one visit?

If so, how did you feel afterwards? Were you able to go out and do stuff? I have to get it done and they said they could do it in one or two appointments so I would rather do it in one and get it over with! Has anyone got that done in addition to fillings at the same time? I have to go back on Monday to meet with the billing office so they can review my insurance policy with what is covered and what isn't so just asking in advance if anyone had similar experiences!

Sounds like you've got a deep cleaning coming. That's exactly what it is, a deep cleaning. They are trying to scrape off the plaque that has gripped your teeth below the gum line. It's done normally in more sessions, one section of the mouth at a time. You may not need that intensity. You can go out after. You will bleed at the office, but just like you bleed if you haven't brushed your teeth in months and give it a try. The gums are clearing out the gunk. It's normal and good. Your insurance SHOULD cover it, but every policy has the potential to be different. It is a deregulated country, after all. Fillings in the same visit? Possible, but we don't usually schedule like that.
