Removal of a Bony Growth on the Roof of the Mouth

California rates for HCPCS 21032

The surgical removal of a bony bump that has formed on the roof of the mouth, along the midline of the hard palate. This growth, sometimes called a torus, is noncancerous but can interfere with a denture, get irritated by chewing, or feel uncomfortable to the tongue. The surgeon shaves down or removes the extra bone through the mouth, without any incision on the outside of the face.
