Cash for Gold Crowns: London's Premier Buyers for Your Dental Gold Crowns
Cash for gold crowns services in London have never been more accessible or profitable than with Quick Cash For Gold, where residents can convert their removed dental crowns into immediate cash through our specialized evaluation process. Whether you have recently removed gold crowns from dental procedures, inherited dental work from family members, or discovered old crowns stored away for years, these medical-grade gold items contain substantial precious metal value that can provide significant financial returns.
Gold dental crowns represent one of the most valuable forms of scrap gold available to consumers, typically containing between 16-22 karat gold with exceptional purity levels required for biocompatibility in dental applications. Unlike decorative jewelry that may prioritize appearance over gold content, dental crowns are engineered with substantial precious metal content to ensure durability and safety in the challenging oral environment.
The decision to sell gold crowns often stems from practical considerations – once dental crowns are removed by dentists, they serve no medical purpose while retaining their full precious metal value. Many people store removed crowns without realizing these items can be converted to immediate cash that often exceeds expectations based on their substantial gold content.
Professional evaluation of gold crowns requires expertise in medical-grade precious metals and understanding of the specialized alloys used in dental applications, ensuring sellers receive fair compensation that reflects the superior quality and purity of dental gold materials.
Understanding Gold Crown Construction and Value
Modern gold dental crowns utilize sophisticated alloy compositions designed specifically for oral environments, typically containing 60-90% pure gold combined with other precious metals like platinum and palladium to enhance strength and biocompatibility. This high precious metal content makes gold crowns significantly more valuable than standard scrap gold.
The manufacturing process for gold crowns involves precision casting using medical-grade gold alloys that meet strict biocompatibility standards, resulting in crowns with consistent quality and substantial precious metal content throughout their construction.
Traditional gold crowns often contain even higher gold percentages than modern versions, as historical dental practices emphasized maximum gold content when precious metal costs were lower relative to dental procedure expenses. Vintage gold crowns can contain exceptional precious metal percentages that translate into premium valuations.
Crown thickness varies based on tooth position and individual patient requirements, with molar crowns typically containing more gold due to their larger size and greater structural demands. The substantial material requirements for full crown coverage ensure significant precious metal content in most dental crowns.
Partial crowns and three-quarter crowns contain proportionally less gold than full crowns but still maintain substantial precious metal content due to the high-quality alloys required for dental applications and the precision manufacturing involved in crown fabrication.

FAQ
Your Cash for Gold Crowns London FAQs Answered
1. Are gold dental crowns really worth selling?
Absolutely! Gold crowns typically contain 16-22 karat gold (67-92% pure gold) plus other precious metals like platinum and palladium. A single crown can contain 2-4 grams of precious metals, often worth £100-400 or more depending on size and gold content.
2. What makes gold crowns more valuable than regular scrap gold?
Dental crowns use medical-grade gold alloys with higher purity than most jewelry, often containing platinum and palladium in addition to gold. The biocompatibility requirements for dental use result in superior precious metal content that commands premium pricing.
3. Can I sell crowns that were removed years ago?
Yes! Gold doesn’t deteriorate over time, so crowns removed and stored for years retain their full precious metal value. Age doesn’t affect the gold content or value – only the current precious metal market prices matter for valuation.
4. How much gold is typically in a dental crown?
A typical gold crown contains 2-4 grams of precious metal content, though larger molar crowns may contain more. The exact amount depends on crown size, thickness, and the specific dental alloy used, which we determine through professional testing.
5. Are porcelain crowns with gold underneath worth selling?
Yes, if they have gold substructures. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns often have substantial gold frameworks beneath the ceramic surface. We can evaluate these crowns to determine precious metal content regardless of the porcelain overlay.
6. How do you determine the value of gold crowns?
We test each crown for gold purity and other precious metals (platinum, palladium), weigh them precisely, and apply current market rates for all metals present. Crown evaluation requires specialized knowledge of dental alloys to ensure accurate precious metal assessment.
7. Do you pay for metals other than gold in crowns?
Yes! Dental crowns often contain platinum, palladium, and silver in addition to gold. We test for and compensate for all precious metals present, not just gold content, which can significantly increase your total payout beyond gold-only valuations.
8. Why do crown values vary between different buyers?
Variations occur due to different expertise levels with dental alloys, testing equipment capabilities, and understanding of medical-grade precious metals. Specialists in dental gold typically offer better prices than general scrap gold buyers who may not recognize additional precious metals.
9. What affects my gold crown's value?
Key factors include gold purity level, crown weight, presence of other precious metals like platinum or palladium, current precious metal market prices, and the specific dental alloy composition used in your crown’s construction.
10. How current are your gold crown prices?
We use real-time precious metals pricing for gold, platinum, and palladium, updated throughout trading days. Crown pricing reflects current market conditions when your package arrives, ensuring fair value based on today’s precious metal markets rather than outdated rates.
11. Do you buy all types of gold crowns?
Yes, we purchase full gold crowns, three-quarter crowns, partial crowns, porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns, vintage gold crowns, and any dental crown containing precious metals. Each type is evaluated individually for its specific precious metal content.
12. What about damaged or broken gold crowns?
Damage doesn’t affect precious metal value since we focus on recoverable gold content rather than crown appearance or functionality. Broken, cracked, or worn crowns retain their full precious metal value for recovery purposes.
13. Are older gold crowns more valuable than newer ones?
Older crowns often contain higher gold percentages because gold was less expensive when they were made, and dental standards emphasized maximum quality. However, each crown must be tested individually to determine actual precious metal content and value.
14. Can you evaluate crowns that have been cemented or have attachments?
Yes, we can evaluate crowns with cement residue, posts, or other dental attachments. These materials don’t significantly affect precious metal recovery, and we focus on the valuable gold content present in the crown structure itself.
15. Do you buy crowns from different decades or eras?
Absolutely! We purchase crowns from any time period, from recent dental work to vintage crowns from decades past. Different eras used varying gold content levels, and we evaluate each crown based on its actual precious metal content.
16. Is it safe to handle and ship gold crowns?
Completely safe. Gold crowns are designed for biocompatibility and pose no health risks when handled normally. Package them securely to prevent loss, but no special health precautions are needed beyond standard valuable item handling.
17. Should I clean gold crowns before selling?
Light cleaning to remove obvious debris is fine, but extensive cleaning isn’t necessary. We evaluate based on precious metal content rather than appearance, and aggressive cleaning might remove material or affect our evaluation accuracy.
18. Are there legal considerations when selling dental crowns?
None at all. Once crowns are removed by dentists, you own them completely and can sell them legally. There are no restrictions on selling dental precious metals that belong to you legitimately.
19. Is now a good time to sell gold crowns?
Crown values depend on precious metals markets for gold, platinum, and palladium. We provide current market pricing, so if you need cash or want to convert stored dental materials, current conditions typically offer fair value opportunities.
20. Should I wait for precious metal prices to increase?
Market timing is difficult to predict. If you have crowns stored unused or need immediate cash, current pricing provides fair value based on today’s market conditions rather than uncertain future price movements that may or may not materialize.
21. Do you handle inherited gold crowns?
Yes, we frequently handle estate dental materials with appropriate sensitivity and professionalism. We understand these situations can be emotionally complex and provide respectful service while ensuring fair valuations for inherited crown materials.
22. How do economic conditions affect crown values?
Economic uncertainty often increases precious metals demand, potentially supporting higher prices for gold, platinum, and palladium content in crowns. However, we provide competitive pricing based on current market rates regardless of broader economic conditions.
23. What if I have questions during evaluation?
Contact us anytime with questions or concerns about your crown evaluation. We provide progress updates and are always available to explain our testing methods, findings, and valuation calculations throughout the entire assessment process.
24. Can I sell additional crowns in the future?
Certainly! We welcome repeat customers and many people return when they have additional dental work done. Future transactions are often smoother as we have your information on file and you’re familiar with our professional process and competitive crown pricing.
