Extraction of a wisdom tooth will involve several codes. You will probably need a brief exam to determine how bad the tooth/teeth are, anesthesia/medication and the actual surgery. You can find a list of dental codes at the Related Link.

The ones you are specifically asking about are as follows:

D7220 removal of impacted tooth - soft tissue

D7230 removal of impacted tooth - partially bony

D7240 removal of impacted tooth - completely bony

D7241 removal of impacted tooth - completely bony, with unusual surgical complications
