An automated dental drill includes an end effector, including a dental tool for disposition at least partially in a patient's mouth and to perform an operation on a tooth. A tooth clamp releasably rigidly attaches to at least one tooth. A drive assembly is controlled by a processor and positions the end effector with a first at least three degrees of freedom, relative to the tooth clamp. The drive assembly remains outside the patient's mouth. A clamp connector connects the tooth clamp to the drive assembly. With the tooth clamp coupled to the drive assembly and the tooth clamp attached to the at least one tooth, position and orientation of the drive assembly remain fixed, relative to the at least one tooth. A passive cantilever arm, mechanically coupled between a support structure and the drive assembly, has a second at least three degrees of freedom and supports the drive assembly.

An apparatus for performing dental surgery includes a central processing unit that controls automated operation of the apparatus and a display that renders an image of a target tooth requiring surgical intervention. The image of a target tooth being created from an image file received from the central processing unit. An input device receives surgical instructions from a user for providing the surgical intervention. The instructions are provided to the central processing unit for process. The surgical instructions include visual indications on the image of a target tooth that is to be treated. A robotic arm that includes an end effector is in communication with the central processing unit. The central processing unit controls the robotic arm to remove a region of the target tooth. The system also simultaneously mills the final tooth restoration in a separate milling chamber.
