ADA Dental Coding Certificate: Assessment-Based CDT Program 2026 (books not included)
About This Event
As the source of dental procedure codes, the ADA has answered thousands of members’ coding questions over the years. Using that wealth of member feedback, the ADA created this 4-CE credit course to ensure dental teams understand CDT codes and use them correctly.
This version of the course does NOT include the CDT 2026 or Coding Companion books. These books are required reference material necessary for successful completion of the course.
This course also offers extensive practice identifying codes that apply to common procedures and treatments.
After successfully passing the assessment, you will earn 4 CE hours.
Learning objectives:
• Understand key terms used in dental coding
• Confidently complete the ADA Dental Claim Form
• Effectively use the CDT manual and its companion to find the right codes in real-world settings
• Become familiar with the 13 service categories and how codes are structured
