Big code changes, bigger opportunities for financial and practice growth
With 31 new codes, 14 revisions, 6 deletions and 9 editorial changes, this year’s CDT 2026: Current Dental Terminology has an unprecedented number of changes. CDT 2026 will help you navigate the codes so you can get paid faster and spend more time with patients. Features:
- Codes listed by category of service
- Descriptors for every code, unlike practice management software
- A chapter dedicated to code changes
You can’t get the CDT book without getting its trusty companion! ADA’s CDT 2026 Companion: Training Guide for the Dental Team tells you HOW to use the codes, with invaluable direction from 200 coding scenarios and 270 questions and answers.
Wrapping up this powerful trio is the CDT 2026 App, which gives you digital access (on your phone or computer) to the full list of codes and descriptors for 2026 and 2025.
The CDT 2026 and Coding Companion Kit with App includes 2 books, 2 e-books and the app. Recommended for all dental professionals.
