A denture mold is part of the process in making new dentures. dentures are fabricated in stages: A mold or impression is taken of the anatomical structures in the mouth. The denture teeth are set in a wax material that is stable at mouth temperature, this allows the client to see the cosmetics of the denture and the clinician to check the bite. Once the decision has been made that everything is fine, that wax denture is then put into a flask with plaster. Once the plaster has hardened, the flask is placed into hot water which softens the wax, the flask is then opened and all the wax is removed. You then have a mould into which the acrylic can be placed. So the acrylic replaces the wax component and after processing the acrylic becomes hard.
So the mold or mould could be either a term for the impression or a term for the flasking stage when you are making a mold or mold into which the acrylic would be placed to make the denture.
We also use the term mold or mould in dentistry to describe the particular shape of denture teeth, teeth come in all shapes and sizes.
The dentures themselves are the finished article worn by the client.

What causes black mold look on dentures?
Not cleaning them properly can cause this. Dentures have to be cleaned with a commercial denture cleaner made specifically for dentures, because regular toothpaste won't remove the types of bacteria and stains that can form and grow on dentures. Dentures also have to be cleaned thoroughly every day.
Where can one find details of denture prices?
Denture prices will depend on where one is ordering from. Dentures can be fitted and purchased from one's dentist, or from a special denture clinic. They can be partial or full dentures. A dental office or denture clinic would have prices, as does the site Affordable Dentures.

What type of denture care is available?
Dentures can be cared for in the same manner as teeth and retainers. They should be cleaned daily, checked periodically at the dentist, and allowed to soak overnight in water or a denture solution. Rinse dentures before and after eating.
What is denture cloning?
Denture clone is a duplicate denture or spare denture. Some dentures are still made with porcelain denture teeth, and with this known fact, a clone denture cannot be made with porcelain denture teeth. Cloned dentures are made for temporary uses such as an emergency backup denture. If you are searching for new dentures, a cloned denture should not be of choice because it is a copy of your original denture. That is if the denture teeth are worn down, so will the cloned denture teeth be worn down. If some of your denture teeth are chipped, so will the cloned denture teeth be chipped as nothing on the denture will change, meaning its structure. If your dentures are loose, then your best solution may be to take your denture to a dentist where it can be relined so that it fits snug. If you are still in the market after you get your denture lined again, your temporary backup denture solution would then be a cloned denture or duplicate denture. 1. It will be an EXACT duplicate of your existing denture made with new, high impact, break- resistant, denture base material (pink gum material). 2. The teeth will be EXACTLY the same shape and size of your original denture. The shade of the teeth can be made lighter or darker upon request. 3. The best candidates are new dentures immediately after they have been fitted and all adjustments have been made because there is no tooth wear, but any denture, new or old, can be cloned. 4. Denture cloning is only suggested for well-fitting, comfortable dentures - the only reason being the duplicate is an exact copy of the original denture. 5. Any necessary repairs to your existing denture, including breakage, missing teeth, holes, thin areas, can and must be repaired before the clone mold is made. 6. Clones are an excellent alternative for elderly, home-bound patients who may have difficulty getting to a dental office. 7. A clone denture eliminates the "breaking in" phase of a new denture. 8. An ideal time for a clone to be made is when your denture needs repair due to a loose tooth or fracture. Your denture will need to go to a dental lab for repair. A clone mold can easily be made at this time.
How do you use 'denture' in a sentence?
"Sonny, where's my denture cream!?"I am so excited about getting my dentures adjusted tomorrow!
Can dentures be fitted on the same day of extraction?
The previous answer was wrong as teeth can be added to existing dentures before they are extracted so that the denture can we worn immediately. Also a new denture can be made to replace a tooth which is due for extraction so that you do not have to go around with a gap in your smile. These are called immediate dentures

Do you have to keep your dentures in water?
Yes. The denture acrylic that the denture is made of can dry out and look bleached out. You did not ask this but I will throw it in anyway. Dentures should be cleaned daily as well.
What are denture implants?
Dentures on implants are when an oral surgeon places posts inside the bone and the denture is screwed to the implants. The denture is then not removable, except by a dentist. This usually done on lower dentures for patients that do not have a lot of bone and do not tolerate a lower denture well.ANOTHER ANSWER:The denture is removable because the denture rests on the implants, which typically snap into the denture, holding the denture securely. The denture can and should be removed daily for cleaning.
