dental treatments not common

Dentistry employs an extensive catalog of dental codes, recognized and standardized by the American Dental Association (ADA), for billing insurance and tracking treatments. These codes, known within the industry as Current Dental Terminology (CDT) codes, are essential for ensuring that dental practices and insurance companies speak the same language when it comes to the variety of procedures performed. For instance, there is a specific code to recement crowns that have come loose and another distinct code for rescrewing implant crowns. With thousands of codes covering everything from routine cleanings to the most complex oral surgeries, these ADA-specific codes facilitate a streamlined billing process, precise record-keeping, and the efficient coordination of care.

Uncommon procedures

tissue biopsy

This process involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the oral cavity for examination under a microscope. It's essential for diagnosing diseases affecting oral tissues, including malignancies, cysts, and inflammatory conditions. By analyzing the tissue sample, dental professionals can make accurate diagnoses and determine the most effective treatment plans for their patients.

Dental implant screw issue

Rescrewing a dental implant screw is a precise procedure undertaken to address issues such as screw loosening, a common complication with dental implants. This process involves the careful removal of the existing screw, inspection and cleaning of the implant components, and the replacement with a new screw to ensure the integrity and stability of the implant structure.

Dental photographs

These high-resolution images serve as a valuable tool in identifying and documenting various dental conditions, from caries and tooth decay to misalignment and gum disease. Photographs enable dentists to maintain a visual record of the patient's oral health status over time, allowing for comparisons and tracking the progress of treatment or the development of dental conditions.
