The 2027 CDT codes are now available in Open Dental versions 26.1.73, 26.2.34, or greater. There are 28 additions, 33 revisions and six editorial updates1.
Open Dental users can update to an applicable version and run the D Codes Procedure Code tool in order to access the latest CDT codes in your Open Dental database. Click the ? icon from the Update window to access the Help Feature and see detailed information and instructions for updating Open Dental.
Be careful, though! While you can update to the necessary version at any time, we always recommend waiting until you’ve seen your last patient in 2026 before running the tool to update your codes. This will save you from running into any billing headaches with incorrect procedure codes sent on claims.

As always, feel free to contact us for assistance with your Open Dental update or with help running Procedure Code tools.
