DENTURES
 
  • Dental Code: D5110 – D5120 (Dentures Maxilla/Mandible)
  • A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues
  • They are removable false teeth made of acrylic (plastic), nylon, or metal. They fit snugly over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps.
  • Dentures may help prevent problems with eating and speech
 
  • There are two types of dentures – complete and partial dentures
  • You may therefore need either:
  • complete dentures (a full set) – which replace all your upper or lower teeth, or
  • partial dentures – which replace just 1 tooth or a few missing teeth

ANOTHER PROCEDURE: REPAIR
  • D5671 REPAIR - Replace all teeth and acrylic on cast metal framework (mandibular)
    • This procedure code is given to replace acrylic teeth when they are damaged.
