Best Answer

CDT codes are a series of numbers and letters that corresponds to a dental procedure. Example, D1110 translates to an adult prophy or cleaning. These codes are needed to submit dental claims to your dental insurance. The codes are in a book that can be purchased explaining what each code is and when it should be used.

What are the Dental cdt codes for tooth extraction?

The code for an extraction is D7140. I Just wanted to add that there is also a couple other CDT codes that might be utilized for a SX Ext. (Surgical Extraction) D7210 and for a simple ext (childs Ext) D7110. I very rarely use the code D7210 when there's a straight forward Surgical extraction. We would tend to use D7210 when it is a more complex case and includes anesthesia or might include anxiolytics such as Xanax or Halcion.
