Hi guest! Dental coding is not our forte like medical coding for dentists is, however here are some dental codes that may apply: D7953 – bone replacement graft for ridge preservation – per site D4263 – bone replacement graft – retained natural tooth – first site in quadrant D4264 – bone replacement graft – retained natural tooth – each additional site in quadrant Hope this helps!

Hello, Which dental code is appropriate to use if placing bone graft on wisdom tooth extraction site?

Hi Guest! D7953 – bone replacement graft for ridge preservation – per site Can be cross coded to: 21210 – Graft, bone; nasal, maxillary or malar areas (includes obtaining graft) 21215 – Graft, bone; mandible (includes obtaining graft) **use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient Hope this helps!

I have a claim that was denied for the D7953. That tooth was extracted. Now the D7953 was denied. My question is there any code that will substitute or cross code that D7953?The code I use for the extraction is 7210
