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 cost of your denture treatment will depend on several factors, including whether you need an upper arch, lower arch, or both.

During your consultation, we'll discuss your case and help you find a solution that fits your budget.
Am I A Candidate For Dentures?

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
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.
I went in for a cracked tooth extraction and implant. While waiting for that procedure, the staff reviewed my x-rays and recommended taking the wisdom teeth and doing another implant for a tooth extraction from about 5 years back. My wisdom teeth were causing crowding and they guided me to an excellent decision. Since I was there already and was going to be sedated anyway, why not remedy the wisdom teeth issue and do both implants. I didn't feel pressured in any way. It was a great suggestion and I have absolutely no regrets. It was a lot of work in one sitting, but these folks are elite. I'm twelve days post procedure at the time I'm writing this and recovery is going just fine. I highly recommend Coyne.
Dr. Coyne is wonderful and always available even in an emergency.Marlena is also so comforting and puts you at ease during a stressful surgery.I appreciate the whole staff at Coyne Oral Surgery!
I can't say enough about Dr. Coyne and her staff. If I could give more stars I would. In the consultation, she listened attentively to my concerns and took the time to share the information that I was needing to make the right choice with my procedure. Ultimately, when it was all done, her work exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond what I had hoped for. Her whole staff really makes you feel at home. Marlena was very caring and helpful, always ensuring I felt comfortable throughout my time there. As a patient, having to get dental work done can be frustrating, as you're not sure of the outcome or who you can trust to provide the service you need. Dr. Coyne and her staff proved to be the best choice, giving me an even better result than I was hoping for. Thank you!
He is a very gentle and kind dentist. I highly recommend this place.

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.
