“How are dentures made?”
My doctor wants me to get dentures for my mouth. And, I'm just curious, how are dentures usually made? Is it with a mold or something?

Teeth are made from acrylic (plastic) or ceramic, and body of the denture (part that carry the teeth) from acrylic. Highly recommend you consider a dental implant instead.
Denture making can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks. The process starts by a simple impression from which a stone model is made. An in-house dental lab at your dental office can make this go a lot faster, anywhere from 2-3 weeks.
Dentures are made by taking impressions of your mouth. You can get immediate dentures or wait after teeth are extracted and get regular dentures. Immediate dentures are delivered on day teeth are take out but over time don’t fit well. If you wait to heal after extractions dentures tend to fit better.
Yes, indeed prints are taken to prepare a copy of your mouth. On the models, the dentist will fabricate temporary teeth set-ups so you can see why your dentures will look like, feel like and sound like when you talk. Once you are satisfied, he will convert that work set-up into your final dentures.

Dentures are made by first taking an impression of your bone ridges and pouring it into a mold. Then plastic teeth with appropriate size, shape and color are set into wax and tried in your mouth. If everything is good, they are set in acrylic and adjusted in your mouth
Simply put, dentures are made by making impressions of your mouth. Both top and bottom arches then using those to fabricate something to replace the missing teeth and gums.
