How we price dental gold
Dental gold is usually an alloy, not pure gold. It's often a lower karat than jewelry, mixed with metals like palladium, platinum, silver or copper for strength. We test each piece to find its gold content, then figure the offer from that purity, the gold weight and the live spot price. Porcelain, tooth material and cement aren't gold, so we account for them before writing the offer. Because alloys vary a lot, two crowns of the same size can bring different amounts.
A Private, Respectful Visit
Our appointments are one-on-one, so you won't be selling in front of a line of strangers. We treat dental gold like any other gold: test it, weigh it and write the number down.
Book a time Monday through Friday. Same-day appointments are often available, and we confirm the Dallas location when you call. Bring a valid government photo ID, which Texas law requires for every precious metal sale.
How to Bring Dental Gold
For your own peace of mind, you can rinse the pieces and let them soak in a little hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol before placing them in a small sealed bag or container. There's no need to scrub or try to remove porcelain. Leave everything attached.
Bring a valid government photo ID with you. Texas law requires ID for precious metal sales, and that includes dental gold. You don't need any paperwork from your dentist to sell. The gold is yours, and testing tells us what it is.
Is It Really Gold?
Not all dental work is gold. Many crowns are silver-colored alloys or porcelain fused to other metals. Gold dental work usually has a rich yellow color, though some alloys are paler.
If you're not sure, bring it anyway. Testing is free, there's no obligation, and we'll tell you honestly what you have. You'll see the test results with your own eyes, and nothing is written until you understand what was found.
Dental Offices Welcome
Dentists and dental offices around DFW often collect scrap gold from removed crowns. We buy from offices too, and the same process applies: test, weigh, and a written offer line by line. Office staff can call ahead to book a time that works around patient hours.
If you're unsure whether you kept your old crowns, ask your dentist. Some offices return removed crowns to patients when asked, and many people don't know that's an option. If you've already got them at home, a pill bottle or small zip bag keeps them together. Bring every piece you have, even small fillings.
Dental Gold: Common Questions
What karat is dental gold?
It varies. Dental gold is usually an alloy and is often a lower karat than jewelry, mixed with metals like palladium or silver for strength. We test each piece in front of you to find its actual gold content before writing an offer.
Do I need to remove the porcelain first?
No. Leave crowns and bridges as they are. Porcelain and tooth material aren't gold, and we account for them when figuring the gold weight. Trying to break porcelain off yourself can be messy and isn't necessary.
Is it strange to sell gold teeth?
Not at all. Dental gold is real gold, and selling it is common. Our appointments are private, so it's just you and us. We'll handle it the same way we handle any other gold, with testing and a written offer.
Can a dental office sell scrap gold to you?
Yes. Dental offices can bring collected crowns, bridges and other dental gold. We test and weigh it the same way and write each line of the offer on paper. Call ahead to book a time that suits your office.
