Dental gold in small quantities
What is dental gold, and what types of dental waste do you purchase?
Dental gold comes from various dental items such as crowns, bridges, implants, fillings, extracted gold teeth, grindings, and sweepings. If you have dental gold (even if it's just a few teeth or small amounts), bring it to one of our locations for a free evaluation and get an offer on the spot.
How much dental gold should I bring?
We purchase small quantities of dental gold, typically 1 to 10 teeth or scraps weighing between 1 and 30 grams. There is no minimum quantity required to sell your dental gold to us. Whether you have a single tooth or a small collection, we will make you a fair offer based on the current market value. If you have a large quantity of dental gold, consider using our Dental Gold Program.
What metals are contained in dental gold, and do you pay for all of them?
Dental gold is rarely pure gold. In fact, it often contains other precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and silver to improve strength and durability. Up to 30% of your dental gold may be composed of these metals. While many buyers only pay for the gold content, Canada Gold pays you for the entire precious metal content, including platinum, palladium, and silver.
How does Canada Gold refine dental gold?
Our dental gold refining process is state-of-the-art and managed by our qualified experts. The process includes
- Weighing and characterization – Your dental gold is recorded and weighed.
- Dissolution and separation – Precious metals are separated using advanced methods.
- Testing and evaluation – We measure each metal in its pure state and weigh it to determine its value.
- Report – We provide a report indicating the amount of gold recovered and its current market value. Depending on the amount of other precious metals present, Canada Gold will pay a premium for these metals as well.
What is the value of my dental gold?
The value of your dental gold depends on the current market price of gold and other precious metals it contains. Although it is difficult to estimate its value without conducting appropriate tests, our experts use industry-standard equipment to accurately determine the value of your scrap. You will receive immediate payment based on the latest precious metal market rates.
Do you pay only for gold or also for other metals?
Unlike many other buyers, Canada Gold pays for the entire metal content—gold, platinum, palladium, silver, and any other precious metals found in your dental gold.
Do I need to bring a large amount of dental gold?
Not at all! Even if you only have a small amount of dental gold (less than 30 g), we are happy to purchase it. There is no minimum requirement—just bring in what you have, and we will make you a fair offer.
