Hi TWISTEDWORDS!
Let's start with converting the ADA codes you provided to CPT codes:
D7473 - removal of torus mandibularis can be crosscoded to: 21031 - Excision of torus mandibular
D7953 - bone replacement graft for ridge preservation - per site and D6104 - bone graft at time of implant placement 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
D7210 - Extraction, erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth, and including elevation of mucoperiosteal flap if indicated
As for extractions, there is not a direct crosscode, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
As for the ICD-10 (diagnosis) codes - it all depends on why the patient is receiving the services, in other words, what conditions/symptoms are these services treating?
For an example, if there was accidental injury that caused the patient to lose teeth, there are codes in indicate loss of teeth due to trauma, acute pain, and how the accident happened.
If you'd like to reply to me with details on the condition/symptoms, i'm happy to provide some coding options.

Ive had extensive dental work done (complete oral reconstruction). My current dentist does not haven will they assist me in converting their ADA codes to ICD10 codes. I have spent hours upon hours trying to get this accomplished, search coding online, purchased the CDT2022 app for my phone, called my Dental Provider.....EVERYTHING!
Is there somebody on here that could give me an ADA Code to ICD10 Code conversion sheet? I understand there are certain circumstances that apply and that ICD10 Codes are for diagnosis, and the ADA codes are for procedures. Here are just a few examples of. what has been done:
D7473 D7210 D7953 D6104
PLEASE HELP, and THANK YOU!

Hi Guest!
It may have been a typo, but the CPT code should be 21249 instead of 20249 (20249 is not a valid CPT code).
C76.0 stands for: Malignant neoplasm of head, face and neck C05.0 stands for: Malignant neoplasm of hard palate
21249 stands for: Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more)
If the neoplasm was on the the hard palate only, you do not need C76.0.
There are no standard modifiers to use on 21249.
When you say you're having trouble getting it on file/processed, what type of denial or rejection responses are you receiving? And just to be sure, are you billing for endosteal implants, or a palatal obturator?
