What Is Dental Gold?

Dental gold refers to gold-bearing dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, fillings, and dental scrap. These materials can contain valuable gold even when they are old, damaged, mixed with porcelain, or no longer usable as dental work. Here are the forms we most often evaluate.

Gold Crowns

Full-cast gold caps placed over a single tooth — among the most common and highest-value items we receive.

Gold Bridges

Multi-unit gold restorations that span a gap. Bridges often contain several grams of gold across their framework. Learn more about selling gold bridges →

PFM Crowns with Gold Copings

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns often hide a gold coping beneath the porcelain layer, holding recoverable gold that isn't visible from the outside.

Gold Inlays

Gold castings fitted precisely inside the chewing surface of a tooth. Small but frequently high in gold content.

Gold Onlays

Larger than inlays, gold onlays cover one or more cusps of a tooth and typically carry more recoverable gold.

Gold Fillings

Older gold-foil and cast-gold fillings. Even individually small pieces add up to meaningful value in a lot.

Dental Gold Scrap

Mixed, broken, or unidentifiable gold-bearing fragments. We evaluate the gold content regardless of condition.

Dental Office Gold Lots

Accumulated dental gold scrap from a practice or clinic. We handle bulk office and clinic gold lots through our secure mail-in process.

Estate Dental Gold

Inherited gold teeth, crowns, or bridgework found among an estate. We help executors and families realize fair value.

Why Dental Gold Requires a Specialist

Dental gold isn't jewelry. A gold crown or bridge is a cast dental alloy — not solid, pure gold — so what it looks like and what it weighs won't tell you how much gold is actually inside.

A few things make dental gold its own category:

Dental gold is not pure gold It's usually a cast alloy Appearance won't reveal the gold % Weight alone won't reveal gold value Porcelain and tooth material can hide it A melt-and-assay reveals the true gold content

Because the gold content varies from piece to piece, weight alone cannot determine value. Many buyers simply estimate — paying a flat rate per gram or per crown and pocketing the difference. We do the opposite: we professionally melt and assay every lot to measure exactly how much gold is there before we make an offer.

The Usual Approach

Generic Gold Buyer

  • Estimates dental gold like jewelry
  • Uses visual inspection or rough karat guesses
  • Pays based on assumed gold content
  • May undervalue crowns and bridges
  • Provides little or no written breakdown
The Specialist Approach

Dental Gold Experts

  • Specializes in dental gold
  • Uses melt-and-assay evaluation
  • Determines actual gold percentage
  • Applies current gold spot pricing
  • Provides a written assay report
Blake Plummer, Founder of Dental Gold Experts

"Dental gold is its own category. A gold crown is not the same thing as a 14-karat chain, and visual inspection alone does not tell you the true gold percentage. That's why we use a professional melt-and-assay process — it gives sellers a clearer understanding of what their dental gold is actually worth."

How do I sell dental gold?

Request your free prepaid USPS shipping label, place your gold crowns, gold bridges, or dental gold scrap in any USPS Small Flat Rate Box, and mail it in. We melt and assay your dental gold, send you a written gold assay report, and issue fast payment once you accept the offer.

What types of dental gold can I sell?

We buy gold crowns, gold bridges, PFM crowns with gold copings, gold inlays, gold onlays, gold fillings, mixed dental gold scrap, full dental-office gold lots, and estate dental gold. If you're unsure whether something contains gold, contact us and we'll help you identify it before you send anything.

How is dental gold valued?

Your dental gold is melted and professionally assayed to determine its exact gold content. That gold percentage and weight are then priced against the current gold spot price. Because dental gold is a cast alloy rather than pure gold, an assay is the most accurate way to know its true value. Some dental gold alloys may contain small amounts of other metals, but our focus is determining the gold content and value of your dental material.

Do I need to know the gold content?

No. You don't need to know the karat or gold percentage before sending your dental gold. Determining the exact gold content is precisely what our melt-and-assay process is for — you'll receive a written report showing what your material contains.

How fast do I get paid?

Once your dental gold has been assayed and you accept our written offer, payment is issued fast. The gold assay report and offer come first, and payment follows as soon as you approve it.

Is shipping included?

Yes. We provide a free prepaid, fully insured USPS shipping label. Your dental gold is trackable and covered from the moment you drop it off until it arrives at our secure facility, at no cost to you.

Can I sell one gold crown?

Absolutely. Whether you have a single gold crown or years of accumulated dental gold, we evaluate lots of every size. There's no minimum — one gold crown is welcome.

Can dental offices sell dental gold in bulk?

Yes. Dental offices and labs regularly send us accumulated gold crowns, gold bridges, and dental gold scrap in bulk. Our mail-in process handles large office gold lots just as easily as a single piece, with a full written gold assay report for your records.
