D5725 — Rebase hybrid prosthesis
D5725 rebases a hybrid implant prosthesis, replacing the acrylic around its framework.
One of 13 reline, rebase and tissue conditioning codes. If you are trying to understand the treatment, start with the reline, rebase and tissue conditioning guide; if you are trying to understand this line on your estimate, you are in the right place.
This page explains what that code number commits the office to, what it usually costs, how plans treat it, and — the part that causes most of the confusion — how it differs from the codes sitting immediately either side of it.
How D5725 differs from its neighbours
D5721 — Rebase mandibular partial denture: It rebases a lower partial denture.
D5720 — Rebase maxillary partial denture: It rebases an upper partial denture, replacing its acrylic but keeping the framework and the teeth.
D5730 — Reline complete upper denture (chairside/direct): It relines a complete upper denture at the chair, adding new material to the fitting surface while the patient waits.
D5711 — Rebase complete mandibular denture: It replaces all the acrylic of a lower complete denture while keeping its existing teeth.
D5725 sits in a group of 13 codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. Reviewers compare the narrative against the code rather than the other way round, so the question worth asking is what the notes will say.

These codes describe the same broad procedure and differ in one respect each. Each has its own page with its own fee range and coverage notes.
Questions about D5725
What does dental code D5725 mean?
D5725 records rebase hybrid prosthesis — one of the prosthodontics, removable codes.
What should I expect to pay for D5725?
Expect $600–$1,500. Ask for the number in writing, because the code carries no fee of its own and every practice sets its own.
How do dental plans handle D5725?
It normally falls under major prosthodontic cover, typically 50%. Whether a particular claim is paid depends more on your history with the plan than on the code.
What is the difference between D5725 and D5721?
D5721 is rebase mandibular partial denture: it rebases a lower partial denture. These are not two versions of one procedure: they are separate treatments, and a plan assesses each on its own merits.
Also known as: denture reline, rebase, loose denture, tissue conditioner, denture fit.
