I work for a multispecialty clinic specializing in cleft lips, therefore we have dentists in our clinic also. I am looking for a medical code that I can use for an abutment placed with screws in the mouth. Does anyone know how I can code this?
 
Hello - I think I found what might help you out... All I did was an internet and/or google search for cdt dental codes with description of the procedure...

Hope this helps..


ADA Insurance Codes for Implants

Implant Services
D6010 Surgical placement of implant body: endosteal implant - Includes second stage surgery
and placement of healing cap.

D6020 Abutment placement or substitution: endosteal implant - An abutment is placed to permit
fabrication of a dental prosthesis. This procedure may include the removal of a temporary
healing cap or replacement with an abutment of alternate design. The intention of this
code is to report this procedure by other than the dentist who placed the implant.

D6040 Surgical placement: eposteal implant - An eposteal (subperiosteal) framework of a
compatible material designed and fabricated to fit on the surface of the bone of the
mandible or maxilla with perimucosal extensions which provide support and attachment
of a prosthesis. This may be a complete arch or unilateral appliance. Eposteal implants
rest upon the bone and under the periosteum.

D6050 Surgical placement: transosteal implant - A transosteal (transosseous) bio-compatible
device with threaded posts penetrating both the superior and inferior cortical bone plates
of the mandibular sympysis and exiting through the perimucosa providing support and
attachment for a dental prosthesis. Transcosteal implants are placed completely through
the bone and into the oral cavity from extraoral or intraoral.

Implant Supported Prosthetics

D6053 Implant/abutment supported removable denture for completely edentulous arch

D6054 Implant/abutment supported removable denture for partially edentulous arch

D6055 Dental implant supported connecting bar - A device attached to transmucosal abutments
to stabilize and anchor a removable overdenture prosthesis.

D6056 Prefabricated abutment - A connection to an implant that is a manufactured component
usually made of machined high noble metal, titanium, titanium alloy or ceramic.
Modification of a prefabricated abutment may be necessary, and is accomplished by
altering its shape using dental burs/diamonds.

D6057 Custom abutment - A connection to an implant that is a fabricated component, usually by
a laboratory, specific for an individual application. A custom abutment is typically
fabricated using a casting process and usually is made of noble or high noble metal. A
"UCLA" abutment is an example of this type abutment.

D6058 Abutment supported porcelain/ceramic crown - A single crown restoration that is retained, supported and stabilized by an abutment on an implant; may be screw retained
or cemented.

D6059 Abutment supported porcelain fused to metal crown (high noble metal) - A single etalceramic
crown restoration that is retained, supported and stabilized by an abutment on
an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6060 Abutment supported porcelain fused to metal crown (predominantly base metal) - A
single metal-ceramic crown restoration that is retained, supported and stabilized by an
abutment on an implant; may screw retained or cemented.

D6061 Abutment supported porcelain fused to metal crown (noble metal) - A single metalceramic
crown restoration that is retained, supported and stabilized by an abutment on
an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6062 Abutment supported cast metal crown (high noble metal) - A single cast metal crown
restoration that is retained, supported and stabilized by an abutment on an implant; may
be screw retained or cemented.

D6063 Abutment supported cast metal crown (predominantly base metal) - A single cast metal
crown restoration that is retained, supported, and stabilized by an abutment on an
implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6064 Abutment supported cast metal crown (noble metal) - A single cast metal crown
restoration that is retained, supported, and stabilized by an abutment on an implant; may
be screw retained or cemented.

D6065 Implant supported porcelain/ceramic crown - A single crown restoration that is retained,
supported, and stabilized by an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6066 Implant supported porcelain fused to metal crown (titanium, titanium alloy, high noble
metal) - A single metal-ceramic crown restoration that is retained,supported, and
stabilized by an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6067 Implant supported metal crown (titanium, titanium alloy, high noble metal) - A single cast
metal crown restoration that is retained, supported and stabilized by an abutment on an
implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6068 Abutment supported retainer for porcelain/ceramic FPD - A ceramic retainer for a fixed
partial denture that gains retention, support and stability from an abutment on an implant;
may be screw retained or cemented.

D6069 Abutment supported retainer for porcelain fused to metal FPD (high noble metal) - A
metal-ceramic retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention, support and
stability from an abutment on an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6070 Abutment supported retainer for porcelain fused to metal FPD (predominantly base
metal) - A metal-ceramic retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention, support
and stability from an abutment on an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6071 Abutment supported retainer for porcelain fused to metal FPD (noble metal) - A etalceramic
retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention, support and stability from
an abutment on an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6072 Abutment supported retainer for cast metal FPD (high noble metal) - A cast metal
retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention, support and stability from an
abutment on an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6073 Abutment supported retainer for cast metal FPD (predominantly base metal) - A cast
metal retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention, support and stability from an
abutment on an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6074 Abutment supported retainer for cast metal FPD (noble metal) - A cast metal retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention support and stability from an abutment on an
implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6075 Implant supported retainer for ceramic FPD - A ceramic retainer for a fixed partial
denture that gains retention, support and stability from an implant; may be screw retained
or cemented.

D6076 Implant supported retainer for porcelain fused to metal FPD (titanium, titanium alloy, or

metal) - A cast metal retainer for a fixed partial denture that gains retention, support and
stability from an implant; may be screw retained or cemented.

D6078 Implant/abutment supported fixed denture for completely edentulous arch - A prosthesis
that is retained, supported and stabilized by implants or abutments placed on implants,
but does not have specific relationships between implant positions and replacement
teeth; may be screw retained or cemented; commonly referred to as a "hybrid
prosthesis."

D6079 Implant/abutment supported fixed denture for partially edentulous arch - A prosthesis that
is retained, supported and stabilized by implants or abutments placed on implants, but
