Who usually does it

general dentist. Rarely offered; ask the office.

One question worth asking

What exactly does this code cover in my case?

Gold foil filling, one surface

FillingsUpgradeD2410

D2410. Hand-packed gold on one surface; almost never done today. Some plans call this an optional service or an alternate benefit. The plan pays what the standard version costs. You pay the difference.

Gold foil fillings are hand-packed gold restorations that almost no office does today, plus the catch-all code for a filling-type procedure that has no code of its own.

Gold foil is hand-packed into a small cavity in layers, a technique very few dentists still practice. The other code here is the catch-all used when a filling-type procedure has no code of its own, and it always needs a written description on the claim. Because these are unusual, ask the office to explain the line before treatment starts.
