Hi Guest! Great job, your coding looks solid to me! The only thing I may do differently based on what you described, is instead of: K08.419 Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified You may consider: S03.2XXA – Dislocation of tooth, initial encounter Or if there were any fractured teeth: S02.5XXA – Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture S02.5XXB – Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture It sounds like there may be some atrophy of the maxilla as well? If so: K08.24 – Minimal atrophy of maxilla K08.25 – Moderate atrophy of the maxilla K08.26 – Severe atrophy of the maxilla and perhaps also use G89.11 (Acute pain due to trauma) as applicable. Hope this helps!
