Dentures
Dentures are recommended when someone is missing most or all of their natural teeth. They should be strong, natural looking, and provide reliable everyday function.
Dentures in Franklin, TN
Dentures are prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base and can be used with or without dental implants. They’re an excellent solution for people who have lost most or all of their natural teeth due to injury or oral health issues. Dentures restore the look and function of natural teeth, making it easier to speak, eat, and smile comfortably.
At East Franklin Dentistry, your denture journey begins with a complimentary consultation. During this visit, you and our doctors will review your age, comfort needs, bone density, and overall oral health to determine the best denture option for you. Once your treatment plan is set, all that’s left is to schedule your appointment and get ready to enjoy your new smile.

How do I clean my dentures?
Traditional removable dentures need regular care to stay clean and in good condition. After eating, remove and rinse them to clear away food. Handle them gently, clean your mouth with a soft toothbrush, and brush your dentures daily before soaking them in a nonabrasive cleanser. Keep them in a mild soaking solution overnight so they stay moist and maintain their shape. Be sure to schedule routine dental checkups to ensure a proper fit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, whitening toothpaste, bleach products, and hot water, which can damage or warp dentures.

What are full dentures?
Full dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They consist of natural-looking artificial teeth set into a gum-colored base that rests comfortably on your gums. Full dentures help restore your ability to speak, chew, and smile with confidence. They’re custom made to fit your mouth and are designed to look like natural teeth. With proper care and regular dental checkups, full dentures can offer a reliable, comfortable solution for complete tooth loss.

What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are removable restorations used when you still have some natural teeth remaining. They fill in gaps with artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often supported by metal or flexible clasps that anchor to your existing teeth. Partial dentures help restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably while preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of place. They’re custom designed to blend with your natural smile and offer a practical, affordable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth while maintaining proper oral function.
