Dental Items We Purchase

👑

Dental Crowns

Single crowns and crown units

We purchase all types of dental crowns containing precious metals. Gold crowns, typically 16K to 22K purity, represent some of the highest gold content dental items. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns contain gold alloys beneath the porcelain layer. Full gold crowns valued for durability and biocompatibility contain substantial precious metal. Both extracted crowns from patients and leftover new crowns from dental labs are accepted. Each crown is individually tested and weighed for accurate valuation. We handle both small quantities from individuals and bulk volumes from dental practices.

🌉

Dental Bridges

Bridge work and multiple unit restorations

Dental bridges contain significant precious metal content across multiple units. Three-unit bridges, four-unit bridges, and larger spanning bridges all contain gold alloys valued for their strength. Fixed partial dentures use gold frameworks providing both precious metal value and structural integrity. We purchase complete bridges as well as damaged or failed bridges from failed dental work. Pontic units and abutment crowns all contain recoverable precious metals. Larger bridges with more units offer proportionally higher gold content and value. Testing determines exact composition and purity for accurate payment.

💠

Inlays & Onlays

Gold inlays and onlays from dental work

Gold inlays and onlays represent traditional dental restoration methods with high precious metal content. These indirect restorations, fabricated in dental laboratories from gold alloys, contain substantial gold value when removed or replaced. Inlays fit within tooth cavities while onlays cover one or more cusps—both contain recoverable precious metals. We purchase gold inlays and onlays from dental offices, laboratories, and individuals with extracted dental work. Pure gold content is high compared to some other dental alloys due to gold's malleability and workability in dental applications.

⚗️

Lab Scrap

Manufacturing scrap from dental laboratories

Dental laboratory scrap includes all manufacturing byproducts containing precious metals. Casting sprues and buttons from lost-wax casting processes contain gold alloys. Grinding dust and filing scrap from dental prosthetics fabrication accumulate precious metal particles. Floor sweeps and bench filings from gold work areas contain recoverable precious metals. Failed castings, rejected pieces, and remelting scraps all have value. Crucible scrap and furnace drippings from melting processes accumulate gold content. Polishing dust and buffing compounds from gold work contain precious metals. We purchase all forms of dental lab scrap with bulk pricing for volume.

🦷

PFM Units

Porcelain-fused-to-metal units with gold

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations contain gold alloy substructures beneath ceramic coverage. While porcelain obscures the metal, the underlying framework typically contains precious metals including gold, platinum, and palladium. We purchase PFM crowns, bridges, and other restorations, properly separating and valuing the precious metal content. PFM scrap accumulates from dental office extractions, laboratory failures, and removed restorations. The metal content varies by manufacturer and formulation, which we test to determine accurate value. Bulk PFM units from dental practices receive volume pricing.

🔧

Castings

Incomplete castings and failed castings

Incomplete and failed dental castings from laboratory work represent recoverable precious metal value. Miscast pieces, porosity-affected castings, and other manufacturing failures contain full alloy content. Sprue assemblies, casting trees, and investment material scrap all embed precious metals. Aborted castings before finishing retain full alloy composition. We purchase all failed castings and manufacturing byproducts from dental labs. Incomplete patterns and abandoned casting projects contain recoverable precious metals. Testing determines exact composition and purity regardless of casting success or failure.

🔩

Gold Alloys

Unused dental alloy pellets and ingots

Unused dental gold alloys in pellet, ingot, or wire form represent refined precious metal value. Dental laboratories often accumulate leftover alloy from casting operations, partial inventories, or discontinued formulations. Precious metal alloys including Type I, II, III, and IV gold alloys have specific compositions and values. Noble metal alloys containing platinum, palladium, and gold command premium pricing. We purchase all forms of unused dental precious metal alloys from suppliers closing inventories or labs changing formulations. Original packaging and assay certificates help verify composition but aren't required.

🦷

Extracted Teeth

Extracted teeth with gold restorations

Extracted teeth containing gold crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, or other precious metal restorations are purchased for their metal content. Natural teeth with gold work from extractions, orthodontic removal, or dental upgrades contain recoverable precious metals. We properly process extracted teeth to recover all precious metal content following appropriate health and safety protocols. Both individual teeth from patients and accumulated extracted teeth from dental practices are accepted. The gold content varies by restoration type and size, which we test and weight for accurate valuation. Biohazard handling procedures followed throughout processing.

Dental Alloy Types

High Noble Alloys

40-60% gold minimum

High noble dental alloys contain at least 60% noble metals including gold, platinum, and palladium, with gold content typically 40% or higher. These premium alloys, classified as ADA Type I and II, offer excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. Yellow gold formulations closely resemble pure gold appearance. White gold formulations contain palladium and platinum for color modification. High noble alloys command the highest prices due to substantial precious metal content. Common in crowns, bridges, and premium restorations where cost is secondary to performance. We pay premiums based on actual gold and precious metal content determined by testing.

Noble Alloys

25% minimum noble metals

Noble dental alloys contain at least 25% noble metals including gold, though gold content may be lower than high noble formulations. ADA Type III alloys often fit this category, balancing precious metal content with mechanical properties. These alloys typically contain gold combined with silver, palladium, and other metals for strength and workability. Corrosion resistance remains good though less than high noble formulations. Pricing reflects actual precious metal content determined through assay. Common in crowns and bridges where cost considerations are important. We test to determine exact composition and price accordingly.

Predominantly Base Alloys

Less than 25% noble metals

Predominantly base metal dental alloys contain less than 25% noble metals, though some formulations include small gold content. ADA Type IV and many base metal alloys fit this category with nickel, chromium, and cobalt primary constituents. Some base alloys contain precious metals like palladium in small quantities. While lower in gold content, these alloys may have value from other precious metals. We test all dental alloys to identify any precious metal content and provide appropriate valuation. Base alloys with minimal precious content have lower but still recoverable value.

Gold Plates

Pure gold foil and plates

Direct gold restorations use pure gold foil, plates, or pellets in specialized dental applications. Gold foil techniques, while less common today, produce restorations from 24K gold with maximum precious metal content. Gold plates and matrices used in certain dental procedures contain high-purity gold. Direct gold restorations represent some of the most valuable dental items due to pure gold content. We purchase direct gold restorations, gold foil scrap, and gold plate remnants from dental work. Pure gold content commands premium pricing. These specialized materials require careful handling and testing to verify purity.

Solder & Flux

Gold-containing solders and flux materials

Dental solder materials used in bridge assembly and repair contain precious metals. Gold solder formulations vary in purity but typically contain 40-60% gold combined with silver, zinc, and other metals. Orthodontic solder materials also contain precious metals. Solder joints removed during bridge repair or replacement contain recoverable gold. Flux residues and solder scrap accumulate in dental laboratory operations. We purchase all types of dental solder materials and solder scrap with pricing based on gold content determination through testing.

Platinum Group

Platinum, palladium, and other PGMs

Dental alloys often contain platinum group metals (PGMs) beyond gold. Palladium is common in white gold alloys and noble formulations, providing both value and functional properties. Platinum appears in some high-noble formulations for corrosion resistance and strength. Other PGMs like ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium may appear in small quantities as grain refiners. We test for all precious metals, not just gold, ensuring you receive value for platinum, palladium, and other recoverable precious metals. PGM content often enhances value beyond gold content alone.
