A system and method for fabricating dental crowns and bridgework includes the steps of: selecting one or more model teeth； forming a mold around the model tooth using a soft flexible material； removing the model tooth from the mold； adding wet dental restoration material to the mold and vibrating the mold； pressing framework into the wet restoration material； vibrating the mold and removing moisture； allowing the restoration material to dry and removing the molded crown or bridgework from the mold； trimming off excess restoration material and adding restoration material to the margin area as needed； baking the crown or bridgework in an oven without the mold and removing the crown or bridgework from the oven when the restoration material is at least partially cured.
