Extensive Surgery To Rebuild The Gum Ridge For Dentures

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 40845

This surgery reshapes the tissue around the tooth-bearing ridge of the jaw and repositions the muscle attachments in the mouth, combined in a single, more extensive procedure to create a better foundation for wearing dentures. It is generally reserved for cases where the ridge and surrounding tissue need significant rebuilding, more than a simpler adjustment would address. The goal is to improve the fit and stability of a denture afterward.
