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.

Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
Doctor Coyne, Marlena, and Melissa were great. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and they were super professional, got me in right away and took all the stress out of having them removed. I would recommend them anyday
They were very nice! Marlena made me feel very comfortable. And whoever usually answers the phone/checked me in was also very nice and helpful, think her name was Melissa maybe. Dr. Coyne was awesome and made the wisdom tooth extraction process quick and easy. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I don't have insurance and it was less expensive than I anticipated. The healing process has also been much less intense than I anticipated. All in all it was very quick, easy, and affordable and the staff is super caring and friendly. I will definitely go back.
Very nice people and they love talking to you and making you comfortable! Would definitely recommend.
This is my third visit to Coyne Oral Surgery, and I can confidently say that I'm just as impressed now as I was years ago. Most recently, I brought my daughter in for her wisdom teeth removal, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Marlena and Melissa are incredibly compassionate and helpful, and Dr. Coyne is exceptional. She took the time to come out and explain the entire process beforehand, and even walked my daughter to the car afterward, going above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease.When I needed additional guidance after bringing my daughter home, their team responded quickly and provided everything she needed. I wholeheartedly recommend their office; you will feel like family, and they consistently deliver outstanding care. Thank you, Coyne team! We will see you again when it’s her brother’s turn!
Incredibly compassionate doctor and staff. I cannot recommend this office enough. Fair pricing and highly skilled. The best!

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.
