Does anyone know if there is a way to code the following situation to get medical insurance re-inbursement?

A patient with Epilepsy had a grand mal seizure and her dentures fell into her throat and almost caused her to choke. The dentist wants to recommend that because of the risk of choking the client would be healthier and safer with dental implants instead of dentures. In this case it is a medical necessity and not for cosmetic purposes. Is there a way to code this so it may be possible to get some payment from the patient's medical insurance company?
Thank you.
