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.

During your consultation, we'll discuss your case and help you find a solution that fits your budget.
Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
Dr. Coyne and her staff are the best. I'm a nervous patient, and their kindness and competence are reassuring. Great experience.
Dr. Coyne is an outstanding physician. She has a unique calming touch and gives a relatable explanation as she works. I’d recommend Coyne Oral Surgery any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
This is the most caring staff we have ever experienced. My daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted and they made her feel calm and provided the highest level of care! Thank you Dr. Coyne and team and your sweet intern for the special attention and making our anxious girl so at ease! We are on the road to recovery, but know if we need anything at all we will have your support!
This was our 3rd experience at Coyne, and I highly recommend once again! The care amd communication are top notch. All three of our kids had excellent experiences with wisdom tooth surgery.
Have used them several times and will continue to do so should I need an oral surgeon in the future. Staff is personable and professional. Make sure you ask Martin if he wants to race; he's got a slow car.

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.
