D5730 — Reline complete upper denture (chairside/direct)
D5730 relines a complete upper denture at the chair, adding new material to the fitting surface while the patient waits.
Among the 13 codes in this group it is the workhorse — the one most practices report by default. The procedure behind it is explained at length in the reline, rebase and tissue conditioning guide.
The detail below covers what the code obliges the record to show, the range of fees, the likely insurance outcome, and a comparison drawn code by code.
What D5730 specifies
Arch — upper. The palate provides broad support for anything removable, but the sinuses sit directly above the back teeth, which constrains surgical work.
Not to be confused with
D5725 — Rebase hybrid prosthesis: It rebases a hybrid implant prosthesis, replacing the acrylic around its framework.
D5721 — Rebase mandibular partial denture: It is the lower-jaw version.
D5720 — Rebase maxillary partial denture: It rebases an upper partial denture, replacing its acrylic but keeping the framework and the teeth.
D5740 — Reline maxillary partial denture (chairside): It relines an upper partial denture chairside.

Questions about D5730
What procedure is D5730?
It is the entry for reline complete upper denture, chairside/direct. A practice cannot use it for anything broader than that, which is what makes the code useful to you.
How much does D5730 cost?
Usually somewhere in $250–$650 as a gross fee. The code fixes what was done, not what it costs, so ask for the practice's own figure in writing.
Is D5730 a covered benefit?
Plans generally pay it as major prosthodontic treatment, typically 50%, subject to whatever is left of your maximum for the year.
