Also known as a root form implant; endosseus or an osseo-integrated implant.

This procedure involves

(1) the surgical placement of a one stage and/or the first stage of a two stage surgery endosteal implant (fixture) and
(2) the placement of a healing abutment/cap (when appropriate).

Tariff code 9183 includes the surgical placement of a one-piece endosteal implant (incorporating both the implant and integral fixed abutment) and should also be used to report the placement of an endosteal plate form implant. In such instances laboratory fees applies.

See tariff code 9190 hereunder for second stage surgery and tariff code 9189 to report the cost of the endosteal implant body

This procedure involves the

(1) surgical re-exposure (uncovery or second stage surgery) of that portion of the submerged endosteal implant that receives the attachment device, and
(2) the connection of a healing abutment or temporary prosthesis. This is usually done after the implant has matured in the bone for several months. The purpose of a healing abutment or collar is to create an emergence profile in the gum tissues for the future implant crown. Some implants are designed to remain exposed in the mouth right after they are placed, abolishing an uncovery procedure. See tariff code 9189 to submit the cost of other implant components
