Impacted Tooth Removal – Soft Tissue Only

North Carolina rates for HCPCS D7220

Surgical removal of a tooth that has not fully erupted but is covered only by gum tissue, not by bone. The gum is opened to expose and remove the tooth, without needing to remove any surrounding jawbone. This is the least involved category of impacted-tooth surgery, though it is still more than a simple extraction of a fully erupted tooth.
