    Can you enter two separate restoration Codes

    Can you enter two separate restoration codes on the same day for the same tooth or is it correct to bill as a two surface restoration even though the restorations are not touching. For instance tooth #30 has occlusal but also separate buccal.

    What would be an appropriate CDT code for an Itero intral oral scan

    We no longer take impressions or diagnostic casts. Is there a CDT code that would cover the intraloral scan with our Itero when we are preparing a treatment/case work up for an Invisalign consult? Can we still bill out D0470 or do we use D0393?

    D2950 Charge??

    Since the root canal was performed & resolved my issue & crown isn’t necessary, would there be a need for “build up” since there will be no crown? Is the only reason for the build up, to support a crown??
