I need help with K08.491...patient has congenital missing canines that need to be replaced with implants for occlusion. K08.491 states that it excludes congenital. Does anyone know what diagnosis for prosthesis replacement applies?

Maybe this:
Anodontia, hypodontia, olgodontia K00.0
Hypodontia is an inherited condition characterized by developmentally missing teeth, without taking the absent third molars into account. In the case where there are six or more missing permanent teeth, the condition is called oligodontia. Anodontia refers to the condition where no teeth are present.

K00.0
Includes Anodontia, Hypodontia, and Oligodontia. And would be the appropriately billed code given the information you've provided.

Definition:
Anodontia is a congenital defect in which many (partial anodontia) or all (complete anodontia) of the teeth do not develop and are absent from the mouth. This may affect both the baby (or deciduous) and permanent teeth, or may affect the permanent teeth only.
I agree with the two previous posters, K00.0 is the correct code for what you are describing.

Thank you, everyone. That is what I was thinking also, wanted to make sure I would not be alone.
