Hi Guest!

D5811 - interim complete denture (mandibular)
D6078 - Implant/abutment supported fixed denture for completely edentulous arch

The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes we are aware of, 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 try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!
