D7230 removal of impacted tooth – partially bony Part of crown covered by bone; requires mucoperiosteal flap elevation and bone removal.
During a simple extraction, your dentist will numb the tooth and gum tissue and loosen the tooth with an instrument called an elevator before removing it with dental forceps. A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure used for a tooth that may have broken off at the gum line or has not come into the mouth yet.
Other specified disorders of teeth and supporting structures The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K08. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The removal of the root portion of the tooth through elevation and forceps should be coded as a D7140 (extraction, erupted tooth or exposed root). If a flap, bone removal and/or root sectioning is required to remove the root, the correct code is D7210.
Diagnostic procedures in dentistry include any procedure used to find a problem with a tooth, gum tissue, or other oral structures of the mouth. This includes: X-rays. Referrals to bone specialists for signs of malformation or bone degeneration (common in people with osteoporosis or bone cancer in the jaw)
