At Lush Dental Studio in Sacramento, Moid Khan, DDS, has built a fast-growing practice by combining smart systems, efficient workflows, and the fastmill.io In-Office mill. Since opening with just 3 operatories in 2019, his office has grown to 12—and produced more than 3,000 restorations chairside. In this interview, Dr. Khan shares how technology is helping him scale without compromising on quality.
Q: Why did you choose the fastmill.io over other CAD/CAM options?
A: It made financial sense for us. The ROI was there, but more importantly, the support is outstanding. Whether it’s troubleshooting or ordering supplies, help is just a text or call away—sometimes on the second ring.
Q: As a PPO office, how do you maintain aesthetic quality while keeping up with high volume?
A: That’s where the fastmill.io shines. We can do 7 to 8 crowns a day and still deliver beautiful, predictable results. From BruxZir NOW posteriors to full-mouth cases with Obsidian, the workflow is efficient and consistent.
Q: What makes the system user-friendly for your team?
A: It’s just intuitive. The fewer steps, the fewer complications. We can focus on the patient and the result rather than worrying about the process.
Q: Let’s talk ROI. How do you measure the value of this investment?
A: If you’re doing around 8 to 9 crowns a month, you’re breaking even. But it’s bigger than numbers. Say a patient needs a crown before vacation—we can say yes and deliver same-day. That builds trust and loyalty, and that’s priceless.
Q: How do you maintain quality while scaling up production?
A: We have a fine-tuned workflow with EFDAs (Expanded Function Dental Assistants) that allows us to operate at an incredible level of efficiency. There’s no drop in quality just because we’re doing things faster. Our results speak for themselves.
Q: What’s next for Lush Dental Studio?
A: We have a fine-tuned workflow with EFDAs (Expanded Function Dental
We’re focused on 4 things: predictability, scaling, production, and quality. With the right tech and the right approach, we’ve built a model that’s efficient and patient-focused—and it’s working.
