D6105 — Removal of implant body (no bone graft/membrane)
D6105 removes the implant body with no grafting or membrane afterwards, leaving the site to heal on its own.
eight codes describe implant repair and removal, and this is one of them. What separates it from the other seven is the subject of this page; the implant repair and removal guide covers the treatment itself.
The sections below cover the conditions built into the code, what it tends to cost, what a dental plan is likely to pay, and where the line falls between this code and the ones next to it.
Told apart from the codes it is confused with
D6100 — Implant removal (surgical): It is the surgical removal of a failed implant, including whatever bone work is needed to get it out.
D6096 — Remove broken implant retaining screw: It removes a retaining screw that has fractured inside the implant, delicate work because the threads have to survive it.
D6095 — Repair implant abutment, by report: It is the by-report code used when nothing more specific fits.
D6093 — Re-cement/re-bond implant/abutment-supported FPD: It re-cements an implant-supported bridge, which is the multi-unit version of the same problem.
D6105 sits in a group of eight codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. Because the wording of these codes is so close, substituting one for another is a routine cause of rejected claims and of unexpected balances. If D6105 is on your estimate, it is worth confirming that the detail it specifies matches what is actually planned.
