Dental Gold

There’s a Small Fortune in Dental Gold

In a number of occupations, simple scrap from everyday processes can be worth a lot, as in the field of dentistry. With everything from gold fillings to bridge work to polishing containing gold in many instances, dentists can quickly acquire substantial amounts of dental gold which is fairly valuable to refiners and smelters. If you own a practice and have gold scrap, you can sell it in exchange for monetary payment.

The Cost of Refining Dental Gold

Dental gold is often found in the form of amalgams or other combination materials where the precious metal must be extracted and separated in order to be refined into a pure, raw state. Refining processes cost money, naturally, which will figure into the amount you are charged when you sell your dental gold scrap. Treatment and assay charges are not exorbitant, however, and when your scrap’s worth is calculated according to London and New York market values, you can still make a tidy sum on the amount you trade in.
