D5750 — Reline complete upper denture (lab/indirect)
D5750 relines a complete upper denture in the laboratory, which fits more accurately than a chairside reline but means going without it for a time.
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.
Below is what the code actually specifies, the fee range to expect, how dental benefits normally handle it, and the specific differences between it and the codes it is most often confused with.
The specifics of D5750
Arch — upper. The palate provides broad support for anything removable, but the sinuses sit directly above the back teeth, which constrains surgical work.
The nearby codes and how they differ
D5741 — Reline mandibular partial denture (chairside): It is the lower-jaw version.
D5740 — Reline maxillary partial denture (chairside): It relines an upper partial denture chairside.
D5760 — Reline maxillary partial denture (laboratory): It is the laboratory reline of an upper partial denture.
D5761 — Reline mandibular partial denture (laboratory): It is the lower-jaw version.
D5750 sits in a group of 13 codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. There is no penalty for asking which of these is planned, and there is a real cost to finding out from an explanation of benefits weeks later.
