D6092 — Re-cement/re-bond implant/abutment-supported crown
D6092 re-cements or re-bonds an implant-supported crown that has worked loose.
One of eight implant repair and removal codes. If you are trying to understand the treatment, start with the implant repair and removal guide; if you are trying to understand this line on your estimate, you are in the right place.
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.
How D6092 differs from its neighbours
D6091 — Replacement of semi-precision/precision attachment component: It replaces the worn half of a precision attachment, the clip that holds an implant overdenture in place.
D6093 — Re-cement/re-bond implant/abutment-supported FPD: It is the same procedure with one word changed: fpd rather than crown.
D6090 — Repair implant-supported prosthesis, by report: It is the by-report code used when nothing more specific fits.
D6095 — Repair implant abutment, by report: It is the by-report code used when nothing more specific fits.
D6092 sits in a group of eight codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. The practical point: confirm which of these is going on the claim before treatment, not after. Corrections after submission mean a resubmission, a delay, and occasionally a fee you did not expect.
Every code in this group
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 D6092
What procedure is D6092?
It is the implant services code for re-cement/re-bond implant/abutment-supported crown, and it means that specific procedure and no other.
How much does D6092 cost?
$120–$350 covers most of the country. Specialist practices and big-city addresses tend to sit in the upper half.
Is D6092 a covered benefit?
Expect basic / major handling — variable. Submitting an estimate first turns that percentage into a number you can rely on.
What is the difference between D6092 and D6091?
D6091 is replacement of semi-precision/precision attachment component: it replaces the worn half of a precision attachment, the clip that holds an implant overdenture in place. They are different operations that happen to sit next to each other in the code set, so one is not an alternative way of billing the other.
