Why Dental Gold is Often the Most Valuable Secret in Your Home

Many people are surprised to learn that their old crowns and bridges are worth money. You might have a small jar in a cabinet containing dental work from many years ago. People often forget about these items because they do not look like traditional jewelry. However, dental gold is actually made from high-purity alloys that are very valuable today. We want to help you realize that these small bits of metal can add up quickly. Our team is proud to be the Most Trusted Gold Buyers in Saskatoon for unique finds.

Understanding the Purity of Dental Alloys

Dentists used gold for many years because it does not tarnish and is very strong. These alloys are often 16-karat or even 18-karat gold to ensure they last a lifetime. Because the metal had to be safe for your mouth, it is usually very clean. We find that a single gold crown can be worth more than a large gold ring. This is because the purity is often much higher than standard 10k jewelry found in stores. We enjoy explaining the science behind these dental metals to our local customers. It is a great way to turn “trash” into a significant amount of cash.

Sometimes, dental work also contains other precious metals like silver or platinum. These metals are used to make the alloy harder or change the colour to silver. Even if the crown looks white, it could still contain a high percentage of gold. We focus on testing every part of the dental work to find the hidden value. Our dental gold services are designed to be fast and very thorough for you. We want to make sure you get credit for every gram of precious metal you bring. Our technicians use the best equipment to ensure an accurate reading every single time.

Removing Ceramic and Porcelain Safely

Many gold crowns have a layer of tooth-coloured porcelain baked onto the outside. This makes the crown look like a natural tooth while you are wearing it. However, the porcelain has no value when it comes to the metal itself. We have the tools to safely remove the ceramic and get to the metal underneath. You do not need to worry about cleaning the teeth or removing the porcelain at home. We handle all the dirty work so the process is easy for you. Our team believes in making the experience as comfortable as possible for everyone.

We often see people who feel a bit shy about bringing in old dental work. We want you to know that this is a very common and professional transaction for us. We handle dental gold every day and treat it just like any other precious metal. There is no reason to let value sit in a drawer just because it looks different. We are here to provide a professional and respectful environment for your visit. Our community trusts us to give them honest answers about their unique items. We take pride in our reputation for fair and open dealings.

The Best Way to Store Your Dental Finds

If you find old crowns, keep them in a small plastic bag or a sturdy container. Do not worry if they are broken or in several pieces. The weight and the purity are the only things that matter for the final value. We suggest checking with your family members to see if they have any old dental work saved. Many people keep these items for years without knowing they can be sold for cash. We love helping families discover these hidden assets during their spring cleaning. It is a wonderful way to boost your savings with items you already own.

Our team provides a private and secure setting for all our evaluations. You can watch the entire process as we test and weigh your dental gold. We explain every step so you understand exactly how we calculate the value of your items. If you have questions about a specific piece of dental work, please Contact Us.
