D6119 — Implant/abutment-supported interim fixed denture, edentulous arch (maxillary)
One of the codes covering full-arch and partial-arch dentures supported by implants. D6119 is the version for the upper jaw.
This code belongs to a set of eight covering implant-supported denture. The clinical detail lives in the implant-supported denture guide; the code-level detail is here.
What follows is the detail behind the number: the conditions the code sets, its typical fee, its usual benefit treatment, and a code-by-code comparison with its closest neighbours.
What D6119 specifies
Arch — upper. The palate provides broad support for anything removable, but the sinuses sit directly above the back teeth, which constrains surgical work.
Status — interim, not definitive. It is built to function for a limited period while something else is planned or healing, and many plans fold its fee into the definitive restoration if that follows within a few months.
D6119 compared with its closest relatives
D6118 — Implant/abutment-supported interim fixed denture, edentulous arch (mandibular): It is the lower-jaw version.
D6117 — Implant/abutment-supported fixed denture, partially edentulous arch (mandibular): It is the lower-jaw version.
D6116 — Implant/abutment-supported fixed denture, partially edentulous arch (maxillary): It is the definitive version.
D6115 — Implant/abutment-supported fixed denture, edentulous arch (mandibular): It is the lower-jaw version.
D6119 sits in a group of eight codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. None of these are interchangeable, even though they sound as though they might be. Checking that the code on your estimate is the one that matches the planned treatment takes a minute and prevents most billing surprises.
