D6058 — Abutment-supported porcelain/ceramic crown
This is the visible tooth: the crown fitted on top of an implant. D6058 is the version in all-ceramic, with no metal underneath.
There are 16 codes for implant-supported crown and they are not interchangeable. This page covers this one; the implant-supported crown guide covers the treatment they all share.
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.
The specifics of D6058
Material — all-ceramic, with no metal underneath. An all-ceramic restoration is milled or pressed as a single piece of ceramic — most often zirconia or lithium disilicate today — with nothing metallic inside it. Because light passes through it the way it passes through enamel, it is the most convincing material available in the front of the mouth, and there is no grey line at the gum to appear as the gum recedes. Modern zirconia is also strong enough for molars, which was not true of the earlier ceramics. The material is part of the code rather than a choice made afterwards, so D6058 is only the right code if that is what was actually used.
Told apart from the codes it is confused with
D6059 — Abutment-supported PFM crown (high noble metal): It specifies porcelain fired over a high noble, gold-rich core rather than all-ceramic, with no metal underneath.
D6060 — Abutment-supported PFM crown (base metal): It specifies porcelain fired over a base-metal core rather than all-ceramic, with no metal underneath.
D6061 — Abutment-supported PFM crown (noble metal): It specifies porcelain fired over a noble-alloy core rather than all-ceramic, with no metal underneath.
D6062 — Abutment-supported cast metal crown (high noble): It specifies cast high noble alloy, with no porcelain over it rather than all-ceramic, with no metal underneath.
D6058 sits in a group of 16 codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. Where the codes sit this close together, the record of the appointment is what settles which one was earned. That is worth knowing before treatment rather than after.

Questions about D6058
D6058 — what is it?
It is the implant services code for abutment-supported porcelain/ceramic crown, and it means that specific procedure and no other.
Is D6058 expensive?
Usually somewhere in $1,390–$3,250 as a gross fee. The code fixes what was done, not what it costs, so ask for the practice's own figure in writing.
Will my plan pay for D6058?
In most cases yes, at the major rate: 0–50%. The annual maximum is what usually decides how much of that you actually see.
What is the difference between D6058 and D6059?
D6059 is abutment-supported PFM crown, high noble metal: it specifies porcelain fired over a high noble, gold-rich core rather than all-ceramic, with no metal underneath. The rest of the procedure is the same, which is why the two get substituted for one another on estimates.
Also known as: implant crown, implant tooth, screw retained crown, abutment supported crown.
