My prosthodonist, Dr George C Bohle, is in OKC. I contacted his office to ask which codes they used for my prosthesis and got this information in return.
"All of them are different, but the ICD-9 Code we used for yours is 170.1"
I hope that gives you a jumping off place. I had 9 lower teeth removed and a partial mandibulectomy. Dr Bohle and several of my other doctors really went to bat for me.
