 D6010 - surgical placement of implant body: endosteal implant
 can be cross coded to:
 21248 - Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); partial (3 or less)
 21249 - Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more)
 
 
 D9222 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – first 15 minutes
 and
 D9223 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – each additional 15 minutes
 
 can be crosscoded to:
 00170 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified
 
 
 D6056 - prefabricated abutment - includes modification and placement
 D6068 - abutment supported retainer for porcelain/ceramic FPD
 D6245 - pontic - porcelain/ceramic
 
 There are not direct crosscodes for extractions, crowns and abutments, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
 41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
 
 
 Hope this helps!

The teeth were already extracted with the oral surgeon, but the following are to restore the teeth (Prosthetic implants)...
 
 Codes are:
 D6010 x 8 teeth
 D6056 x 8 teeth
 D6068 x 8
