Step # 1 - Simple Appraisal to sell dental gold

Using X-Ray Spectrometers, one of our agents will determine the total weight of your batch of dental material, plus the approximate weight of each precious metal in your total batch. Based on this appraisal, we will give you an advance of 33.33% of the anticipated payout post refining. Click the following link to see the payouts for each metal

Step # 2 - Refine the dental gold

Due to the toxic nature of melting unknown materials when you want to sell dental gold, we have to take your material to our refinery where a mercury test is performed before it is refined. Any dental gold found to have mercury in it, will be returned to you at no cost.

If the lot you give is is large, or if it contains other precious metals such as palladium, the total refining time can take up to 3 business days to complete

Step # 3 - Report

Once the material (dental gold) has been refined, we will give you a full report on all the metals found, together with their total refined weights for each class of precious metals

At this point you have the option to strike immediately, or hold and wait for the spot price of your metals to get where you need it to be.

There is also a $200 refining fee which will be deducted form the final payout

What is Dental Gold?

Dental gold refers to gold alloys used in dental work, such as crowns, bridges, and fillings. While it’s not pure gold, it is mixed with other metals like palladium, silver, or copper to enhance its strength and durability. Over the years, gold has been a popular choice for dental work because of its biocompatibility, meaning it’s safe to use in the mouth without causing allergic reactions.

Understanding the Value of Dental Gold

Dental gold is not pure, but it contains enough gold content to make it valuable. The value of your dental gold depends on factors like:

• Gold Content: The higher the gold content, the more valuable your dental gold will be. Common dental gold alloys range from 10 to 22 karats.
• Weight: The heavier the dental gold, the more it’s worth. A simple kitchen scale might not cut it, so consider visiting a dealer for an accurate assessment.
• Current Market Price: Gold prices fluctuate daily, so it’s important to check the current market rate before selling.

Preparing Your Dental Gold for Sale

Before you head off to a gold buyer, it’s important to prepare your dental gold. Here’s how:

1. Clean the Gold: Remove any residue or debris from the dental gold. You can rinse it in warm water or use a mild soap.
2. Store It Safely: Keep your dental gold in a secure location, such as a small sealed container or bag. This protects it from being lost or damaged.
3. Document It: If you have any paperwork related to the dental work (such as invoices), it’s helpful to bring that along to show what type of gold alloy was used.

How to Choose a Trusted Buyer

Not all buyers are created equal. Here’s what to look for in a reputable dental gold buyer:

• Transparency: A good buyer should be clear about how they determine the value of your dental gold and provide a fair quote.
• Experience: Look for buyers with a long-standing reputation in the gold business. Experience often means trustworthiness.
• Customer Reviews: Check online reviews and ratings to see how other customers have experienced working with the buyer. Avoid buyers with poor reputations.

Tax Implications of Selling Dental Gold in Canada

In Canada, selling gold may have tax implications. If the sale results in a significant profit, you may need to report it as a capital gain. It’s a good idea to consult with a tax professional if you're selling a large amount of gold.
