Removal Of A Growth Or Scar Inside The Mouth

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 40820

A growth or scar tissue in the area between the lips or cheeks and the gums, such as irritated tissue caused by a denture, is destroyed using a method like burning, freezing, or laser. This treats the local irritation without removing a larger piece of tissue. It's typically a quick, minor in-office procedure.
