D5741 — Reline mandibular partial denture (chairside)
D5741 relines a lower partial denture chairside.
There are 13 codes for reline, rebase and tissue conditioning and they are not interchangeable. This page covers this one; the reline, rebase and tissue conditioning guide covers the treatment they all share.
Everything on this page is about the code itself — its conditions, its fee, its benefit handling, and the precise point at which it stops applying and a neighbouring code starts.
D5741 in detail
Arch — lower. The bone is denser, but there is far less surface area to support anything removable and the nerve running through the jaw limits how aggressive surgery can be.
Told apart from the codes it is confused with
D5740 — Reline maxillary partial denture (chairside): It is the upper-jaw version.
D5750 — Reline complete upper denture (lab/indirect): It is the upper-jaw version.
D5730 — Reline complete upper denture (chairside/direct): It is the upper-jaw version.
D5725 — Rebase hybrid prosthesis: It rebases a hybrid implant prosthesis, replacing the acrylic around its framework.
D5741 sits in a group of 13 codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. Two of these codes on one estimate is not necessarily an error, but it is always worth asking what each line is for.

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 D5741
D5741 — what is it?
D5741 is shorthand for reline mandibular partial denture, chairside — the same five characters every practice and every insurer in the country uses for it.
What is the typical fee for D5741?
$250–$600 is the realistic range before benefits. Your own share depends on your plan's percentage, deductible and remaining annual maximum.
Is D5741 a covered benefit?
Expect major prosthodontic handling — typically 50%. Submitting an estimate first turns that percentage into a number you can rely on.
What is the difference between D5741 and D5740?
D5740 is reline maxillary partial denture, chairside: it is the upper-jaw version. Nothing else separates them, which is exactly why a claim submitted under the wrong one of the two is such a common correction.
Also known as: denture reline, rebase, loose denture, tissue conditioner, denture fit.
