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

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.
