What Is Dental Gold and Why Is It Valuable?
Dental gold is a type of metal alloy traditionally used in dental restorations like:
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Inlays and onlays
- Gold fillings
- Partial dentures
These restorations often contain a high percentage of gold—sometimes as high as 85% to 95% purity, especially in older dental work. While modern dentistry has shifted to ceramics and composites, many people still possess unused or removed dental gold that holds significant value.
Types of Dental Gold We Buy:
| Type | Typical Gold Content | Estimated Value |
|---|---|---|
| Full gold crowns | 16K–22K | High |
| Gold bridges | 16K–22K | High |
| Partial crowns/inlays | 12K–18K | Medium |
| Mixed-metal restorations | Varies (5K–16K) | Fair |
| Dental scrap/lab metal | Mixed with palladium, silver, platinum | Fair–High |
Even if the piece looks dull or mixed with other metals like palladium, silver, or platinum, it still holds resale value. We accept all forms of dental scrap, including damaged or broken pieces.
Why Sell Dental Gold to Diamond Exchange USA?
When it comes to selling gold, trust and transparency matter. Here’s why locals in Bethesda, Rockville, and the surrounding DMV area choose us:
1. Accurate Valuations Based on Purity and Weight
We use X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers and digital gold scales to evaluate your dental gold’s composition and value. This ensures precision in assessing how much actual gold is present.
2. On-the-Spot Cash Offers
There’s no waiting, shipping, or uncertainty. You get a real cash offer based on the current market price of gold — often within 15–20 minutes.
3. Private, One-on-One Consultations
Our in-store experience is discreet and respectful. We understand many clients are unfamiliar with selling dental gold. We walk you through the process step by step.
4. Better Prices Than Pawn Shops or Online Mail-In Buyers
Because we refine and resell directly, we eliminate the middlemen. That means higher payouts for you.
What Happens During the Evaluation?
Selling dental gold might sound complicated — but it’s not. At Diamond Exchange USA, we’ve made it simple and stress-free:
- Bring in your items – No need to clean or sort them.
- Free purity testing – We’ll analyze the karat content with our equipment.
- Weighing your gold – You’ll see the weight displayed in real time.
- Quote based on gold spot price – We calculate your payout using the current market value.
- You accept and get paid – Walk away with cash or a check on the spot.
💡 TIP: If you have a crown still attached to a tooth mold or other dental material, we can still evaluate it. We’ll separate and extract the metal ourselves.
