what is the difference between dental codes D4266 and D7956

I was charged code D4266 by my dentist and my insurance changed it to code D7956 and they covered it. I had to pay out my pocket for code D4266. Should I ask for a refund for the D4266 charge?

When billing for normal implant maintenance, i.e., cleaning the implants and the IS prosthesis we use code D6080. Where we are confused is how to properly bill for O-ring replacements done at the same time. How do we bill for the O-rings? If O-rings are also billed under D6080 would we bill D6080 twice, once charging for the regular maintenance and the other charging for the O-ring replacements separately? Is this the correct way to do it, or will it be denied? Thank you.
