Why would a dentist need two identical impressions before any teeth are pulled?

Well it depends on what the next set of treatment will be for your case. Whether it be implant, crown and bridge, or dentures. I will try to explain the reasons for the need of impressions on all these procedures to better answer your question.
Implants: Implants are a long process. They take 6-9 months to complete the entire implant. At first the doctor must take an impression to have prior to any work being completed. He will send this to the laboratory where your implant will be made. After the implant placement and healing time is completed the doctor will need to take another impression to send off the laboratory again and then you would get your crown and abutment for the implant.
Crown and Bridge: Before any work has began on the patient the assistant needs to take an impression so that when she makes the temporary crown is will reflect your natural tooth. This makes it much better for the patient. Also after the tooth has completed his preparation of the tooth they will need to take another impression for the lab where your crown will be processed and made for your next appointment if the office does not do in office crown and bridge.
Dentures/ Partials: Before beginning any work again the patient will need to have an impression for the lab. When making dentures and partials there are 5 steps before placing the partial that is to make sure all the teeth are symmetrical and everything lines up with the patient's midline and they are satisfied with what the teeth will look like. Later you will need more impressions when you will begin the reline of the denture or partial that is usually 6-12 months depending on how the denture was made and the adjustments made to the denture.
I hope all this helps!
