Question:
If you have a mold taken of your teeth and dentures are made, does the dentist keep the mold until after the dentures are fitted in case another the fit isn't good and another one needs to be made?
Answer:
Some dentists make duplicates of the models that were made, some don't. The origional models are used to make the dentures and are usually destroyed in the process of making the dentures.
If that is the case and new dentures need to be made, new impressions are taken. If it is an immediate extraction case it is best to use the transition dentures from 6 to 12 months to allow the bone to heal and the tissue to shrink. Then the new dentures are made.
