ICD-10 Code K00.1 – Supernumerary teeth (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Supernumerary teeth is K00.1.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K00.1 – Supernumerary teeth

What it is

K00.1 identifies extra teeth beyond the normal dental complement. Use it when documentation states supernumerary teeth, extra teeth, or an additional tooth count.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include an extra erupted tooth, delayed eruption of adjacent teeth, crowding, or incidental discovery on dental imaging.

When to use this code

Use K00.1 when the provider documents supernumerary teeth as the diagnosis, whether the extra tooth is erupted, impacted, or found on exam or imaging. You may also use it when the record describes an extra tooth causing crowding or eruption delay.

If the note only mentions an abnormal tooth count without naming the condition, check documentation before coding. Code the condition only when the diagnosis is clearly supported in the record.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for retained primary teeth, missing teeth, or other dental anomalies unless supernumerary teeth are specifically documented. Check documentation if the finding is uncertain.

Coding tip

Link the code to the provider’s exact wording and avoid assuming an extra tooth from imaging alone.
