    Can we charge D7910 in addition to D7210 (surgical extractions)?
    Or is this procedure inclusive to the surgical extraction?

    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?
    Admin July 26, 2022 4:46 pm
    D0470

    3 surface filling billing
    If you do a DO filling and a B filling on the same tooth and the DO does not touch the B can you bill for 2 seperate fillings the same day?
    Admin December 22, 2022 8:08 pm
    Yes but in many cases the insurance will downgrade it to a D2393 and pay it as that code. I've recently dealt with this with a patient with Guardian insurance.

    Is there a list of conditions that are from the ADA specifically
    I know there are snow med and snow dent - but the ada has their own list of condition codes right?

    I am unsure, honestly, how to answer this. I am not familiar with anything beyond SNOMED and SNODENT. https://www.ada.org/resources/practice/dental-standards/snodent

    What code do I use for reattaching a locator abutment for an implant supported removeable denture?
    asw0929 May 18, 2022 10:43 am
    There is no code specific to just reattaching the locator abutment. I would say that you should bill D6199 and include documentation reporting what was completed.

    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.
    asw0929 August 18, 2022 6:57 pm
    If the fillings touch then it’s one two surface filling. If they don’t touch/aren’t connected then it’s two one surface fillings. Insurance will typically downgrade it and pay based on a two surface, but you have to always bill what you do.
