Hi Guest!

D4266 - guided tissue regeneration - resorbable barrier, per site
can be cross coded to:
41870 - Periodontal mucosal grafting

D7953 - bone replacement graft for ridge preservation - per site
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

D6010
- surgical placement of implant body: endosteal implant
can be cross coded to:
21248 - Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); partial(3or less)
21249 - Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more)

D7952 - sinus augmentation via a vertical approach
Can be cross coded to:
21210 - graft, bone; nasal, maxillary, or malar areas
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient


D7140 - extraction, erupted tooth or exposed root (elevation and/or forceps removal)

The code listed above does not have a direct crosscode we are aware of, 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 try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!
