What Are Dentures?
Individualized dentures offer a convenient solution for replacing lost teeth, helping restore your ability to speak and eat with confidence while enhancing the appearance of your smile. At Coyne Oral Surgery in Franklin, TN, we provide both full and partial removable dentures, as well as implant-supported dentures, for patients of all ages. Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures are used to provide support when some natural teeth remain. Dr. Cathleen Coyne and our team will help you determine the best option for your needs and create dentures that provide a comfortable, natural fit. Schedule a consultation at Coyne Oral Surgery today to learn more about your denture options.
How Do Denture Treatments Work?
The denture process begins with our staff taking 3D or physical impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions are sent to a specialized dental lab, where your customized dentures are crafted. Full and partial dentures are made from lightweight resin, often reinforced with a metal inner structure. Using high-quality materials, dentures are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums. Once your dentures are complete and returned to Coyne Oral Surgery, we'll schedule a fitting session. Dr. Coyne will ensure your dentures fit securely, making any necessary adjustments or fastening them to dental posts if required. Our team will also provide instructions on how to care for your new dentures.
What Can I Expect After Getting Dentures?
Adjusting to new dentures takes time, but most patients begin noticing improved comfort, speech, and chewing ability as their mouth adapts. At Coyne Oral Surgery, our team helps patients understand what to expect during the denture recovery process, including mild soreness, increased saliva production, and gradual improvements in everyday function. Following aftercare instructions, eating softer foods at first, and keeping up with regular visits can help support a smoother transition and long-term oral health. Whether you are considering full dentures, researching implant-supported dentures, or looking for guidance about adjusting to new dentures in Franklin, TN, our team is here to help you feel more confident throughout the process.
What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
If you're missing teeth, dentures from Coyne Oral Surgery in Franklin, TN offer a range of benefits that restore both function and appearance. These benefits include:
- A natural, lifelike look
- Easy care and maintenance
- Clearer speech
- Support for facial muscles, preventing sagging
- A cost-effective solution for tooth loss
- The ability to eat and speak normally again
- Long-lasting durability
- Increased self-confidence
- Potential improvement in digestion
- Customizable design options
The cost of your denture treatment will depend on several factors, including whether you need an upper arch, lower arch, or both. Medicare usually does not cover the cost of dentures, but certain Medicare Advantage plans may offer coverage. During your consultation, we'll discuss your case and help you find a solution that fits your budget.
Am I A Candidate For Dentures?
During a consultation at Coyne Oral Surgery, Dr. Coyne will evaluate your oral health and determine if dentures are the right solution for you. We will review your medical and dental history, perform a thorough examination of your mouth, and discuss all available options, including full dentures, partial dentures, or implant-supported dentures. The consultation is also an opportunity to address any questions you may have about the process, materials, or maintenance of your dentures. With a personalized approach, our team will ensure you understand each step and feel confident moving forward with your treatment plan.
Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
Fantastic staff, wonderful surgeon, and great followup care
No one looks forward to going to the dentist and especially getting a tooth pulled. When I found out my insurance wouldn’t pay for me to be put out Dr. Coyne and her staff made this experience the best it could possibly be. Dr. Coyne’s nurse talked me through the process and eased my anxiety, and encouraged me that I could do it with just the Nitrous Oxygen and she would be right there to talk me through everything. She was very kind and compassionate, because I was very nervous about it. This saved me a lot of money out of pocket, I mean A LOT of money. I’m so glad she encouraged me because the whole procedure only lasted a few minutes and I didn’t feel any pain, plus I saved a ton of money because of her encouragement and I probably wouldn’t have even tried to do it without her encouraging me to. Dr. Coyne did a wonderful job and my recovery was very easy as well. Afterwards, they called to check in on me. You can tell they care about their patients at this practice. It was also easy to get an appointment and the office was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend them if you have any extractions or oral surgeries you need.
Had my wisdom teeth extracted with Dr. Coyne around a year ago today. They were impacted and she did a great job. My husband is now getting his extracted this week from her as well, and I know he and others will be in good hands if they choose her and her team. Her surgical assistant is top tier, talked with me prior to sedation due to my fears and severe dental anxiety. They were patient and so kind to me, you don’t find many places that treat and care for you more than just a patient in their office. 🦷 💜 Even after the procedure I asked for a picture with Dr. Coyne 🙂
Dr. Coyne and her staff are amazing. Took exceptional care of my daughter for her wisdom teeth. They explained everything from what to expect during and after and put her at ease for the procedure. Highly recommend Coyne Oral Surgery.
Everything was over the top.. from the interior decor to the smiles from the staff. I had a tooth extraction. It took no time. The assistant as well as the entire staff was super nice and comforting. I would definitely recommend Coyne Oral Surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to sleep with dentures in?
Although you can sleep while wearing your dentures, it’s best to remove them before bed. Taking them out at night helps relieve pressure on your gums and jawbone, which need time to recover from daily wear. For hygiene and denture longevity, we recommend cleaning them thoroughly and placing them in a cup of water or a denture-soaking solution overnight.
Will wearing dentures cause discomfort?
It’s normal to feel some initial soreness or irritation as your mouth adjusts to new dentures. This adjustment period varies from person to person, but the discomfort usually fades with time. If you continue to experience pain or persistent irritation, reach out to our office so we can assess the fit and make any needed adjustments.
Do dentures limit what I can eat?
You’ll need some time to adjust your eating habits with dentures, especially when tackling tougher or stickier foods. As your comfort and confidence grow, you’ll likely be able to enjoy most of your usual meals again. That said, we advise avoiding chewing gum; it can cling to the denture surface, interfere with the seal, and may even cause damage or slippage.
