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

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
I had a wonderful experience at Coyne Center. Four wisdom teeth extracted at 71 years old. High anxiety as I anticipated the appointment, but the staff made me feel at ease through the whole process. They're the best!
Amazing!! Highly recommend. Fantastic people.
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I have severe anxiety with any and all dentistry and I needed several teeth extracted in a hurry. They got me in within the week and talked me through the needed work and suggested several helpful tips. They worked with our insurance and limited funds. Ashley and Marlena were so kind, sweet, and helpful. Dr. Coyne was very kind as well, including helping with meds that the pharmacy "didn't get" after office hours but before the pharmacy closed. I will recommend them to everyone I can from now on.
I cannot thank Coyne Oral Surgery enough for the incredible care they provided my nephew! He was in agonizing pain from an infected tooth, and they managed to get him in for a same-day appointment, which was a total lifesaver.From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was different than most medical offices. In a world where everywhere feels "corporate" or focused on "upselling," this practice is a breath of fresh air. You can tell the staff truly cares about the patients, not just the bottom line.A special shout-out to Marlena and Layla—they were extra sweet, gentle, and incredibly helpful through the entire process, from check-in to post-surgery care. They made a stressful situation so much easier.If you want an office that treats you like a person and provides top-tier care, this is the place!
My husband had an emergency extraction at Coyn last week. Ashley was amazing at the front desk answering all of my questions and making him as comfortable as possible. Marlena was awesome and took great care of Luke during surgery prep and post care! They were so kind and went above and beyond for us. We are so thankful to have been cared for so well. Our experience was 10/10!

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.
