D7350 — Vestibuloplasty — ridge extension (including soft tissue grafts)
D7350 is that same vestibuloplasty with soft tissue grafted over the raw area, which heals more predictably.
18 codes describe other oral surgical procedures, and this is one of them. What separates it from the other 17 is the subject of this page; the other oral surgical procedures guide covers the treatment itself.
Below is what the code actually specifies, the fee range to expect, how dental benefits normally handle it, and the specific differences between it and the codes it is most often confused with.
Where the line falls between D7350 and the rest
D7340 — Vestibuloplasty — ridge extension (secondary epithelialization): It is the same procedure specified for secondary epithelialization rather than for including soft tissue grafts.
D7298 — Removal of temporary anchorage device [screw retained plate], requiring flap: It is the interim version.
D7297 — Corticotomy — four or more teeth or tooth spaces, per quadrant: It is that same corticotomy across four or more teeth in the quadrant.
D7296 — Corticotomy — one to three teeth or tooth spaces, per quadrant: It scores the bone around one to three teeth to speed up orthodontic movement through it.
D7350 sits in a group of 18 codes in total; the remainder are linked at the foot of this page. If an estimate lists D7350 and the treatment that follows matches a neighbouring code instead, the office has to resubmit — which delays the payment rather than increasing it.
Every code in this group
These codes describe the same broad procedure and differ in one respect each. Each has its own page with its own fee range and coverage notes.
