Sell Dental Gold With Confidence
Whether you're selling a single gold crown or years of accumulated dental gold scrap, Dental Gold Experts provides professional melt-and-assay evaluations, transparent written assay reports, and payment issued within 24 hours after acceptance, based on your material's gold content and the gold spot price used.
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. See can you sell gold fillings?
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. Old partial dentures turn up in estates too — see can you sell gold dentures? A crown still attached to an extracted tooth is covered in gold crowns on extracted teeth.
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:
Because the gold content varies from piece to piece, weight alone cannot determine value. Some buyers estimate instead, paying a flat rate per gram or per crown. We do the opposite: Blake melts everything you submit together as one lot, then analyzes multiple spots on the melted material by XRF to determine its gold content before we make an offer.
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
Dental Gold Experts
- Specializes in dental gold
- Uses melt-and-assay evaluation
- Determines actual gold percentage
- Applies the gold spot price shown in your written report
- Provides a written assay report
"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."

Request your free prepaid USPS shipping label, place your gold crowns, gold bridges, or dental gold scrap in a USPS Small Flat Rate Box following the packing instructions we email with your label, and mail it in. We melt your dental gold, analyze the melted material by XRF, send you a written report with our offer, and issue payment within 24 hours after you accept it.
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.
Everything you send is melted together as one lot, and Blake analyzes multiple spots on the melted material by XRF to determine its gold content. That gold percentage and weight are then priced with the gold spot price shown in your written report. Because dental gold is a cast alloy rather than pure gold, an assay is the most accurate way to know its true value. Dental gold alloys can also contain other metals, such as palladium or platinum; Dental Gold Experts pays for gold content only.
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 the weight, gold percentage, gold spot price used, payout rate, and payout calculation.
The written report and offer come first. If you accept our offer, we issue payment within 24 hours, usually immediately, by Zelle, PayPal, check, or ACH bank transfer; receipt depends on the payment method.
