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
CPT code 41800 refers to the extraction of an unerupted tooth, specifically a tooth that is impacted in the jawbone. This procedure is often performed when the tooth cannot emerge properly, potentially causing pain or other dental issues. It is important for dental professionals to document the procedure accurately using this code for insurance and billing purposes.

The code for an extraction is D7140. I Just wanted to add that there is also a couple other CDT codes that might be utilized for a SX Ext. (Surgical Extraction) D7210 and for a simple ext (childs Ext) D7110. I very rarely use the code D7210 when there's a straight forward Surgical extraction. We would tend to use D7210 when it is a more complex case and includes anesthesia or might include anxiolytics such as Xanax or Halcion.
