Sell dental gold · Rheinische Edelmetall
Sell dental gold and have it assessed in person.
If you would like to sell dental gold, Rheinische Edelmetall offers a personal valuation in the branch. We assess dental gold, crowns, bridges, inlays and other dental alloys transparently, explain the calculation clearly and make you a traceable purchase offer.
The value of dental gold does not depend on colour or weight alone. The actual alloy, precious metal content, recoverable material and current precious metal rates are decisive. An accurate valuation is therefore only possible after assessing the specific material.
Context
Why dental gold is not valued as a flat category.
Dental gold is not always made up in the same way. Some dental alloys contain a high proportion of gold, while others contain more silver, palladium, platinum or other components. Ceramic, plastic, cement residues or other non-precious-metal parts may also be attached to the item. That is why colour or total weight alone is not enough.
Alloy instead of colour
Yellow dental gold may contain a different precious metal content than expected. White-coloured dental alloys can also contain valuable components.
Recoverable material
The purchase offer is based on the recoverable precious metal content. Non-precious metal, ceramic or other residues are not valued like precious metal.
Personal assessment
The valuation takes place in the branch. You receive a clear explanation and decide only afterwards whether you want to sell.
Process
How selling dental gold works.
The process is deliberately simple: you bring your dental gold to one of our branches, we assess the material, explain the valuation and make you a clear offer.
Bring dental gold with you
Bring crowns, bridges, inlays, dental gold or dental alloys to the branch. Perfect cleaning is not necessary. It is best to place the material in a small bag or container.
Have the material assessed
We check which parts are recoverable and which precious metal content can be identified. Depending on the alloy, dental gold may contain gold, silver, platinum, palladium or other components.
Understand the valuation
You find out which factors influence the offer: alloy, recoverable weight, precious metal content, residues and current precious metal rates. The rate value is a basis, but it is not automatically the purchase price.
Accept or decline the offer
If you accept the offer, the payout is made directly in the branch. If you do not want to sell, you take your dental gold back with you. You decide only after the assessment.
Precious metal rates
Current rates as orientation.
The current precious metal rates for gold, silver, platinum and palladium provide an initial orientation. With dental gold, however, the rate alone is not decisive; the actual alloy and recoverable precious metal content are just as important.

Valuation
What influences the value of dental gold.
A purchase offer for dental gold is based on several factors. The decisive point is not the total weight alone, but which precious metals are actually contained and recoverable.
Precious metal content
Dental alloys may contain gold, silver, platinum, palladium or other components. The value can vary significantly depending on the composition.
Recoverable weight
The full item is not automatically valued as precious metal. Residues, ceramic, plastic or other non-precious-metal parts are assessed separately.
Current rates
Precious metal rates are an important basis. The actual offer depends on material, alloy, weight and recoverability.
Assessed item by item
Several crowns, bridges or inlays may have different compositions. That is why we assess the material carefully rather than applying a flat category.
Material
Which dental gold you can have assessed.
You can have dental gold and dental alloys assessed in our branches. Even if you do not know exactly which components are included, you can bring the material in for assessment.
Crowns and bridges
Dental crowns, bridges and older dental work may contain precious metal components. The value depends on the specific alloy.
Inlays and dental gold
Inlays, partial pieces and old dental gold can also be assessed. The actual composition of the material is decisive.
Dental gold with residues
Dental gold does not need to be perfectly cleaned. Residues are taken into account in the valuation and are not treated as precious metal.
Estates and inheritance
Dental gold is often found in estates or older holdings of jewellery and valuables. You may bring it in together with other precious metals for assessment.

Trust
Why dental gold should be assessed in person.
With dental gold, a flat remote estimate is particularly difficult. Colour, form and total weight do not reliably show which precious metals are actually contained. That is why we rely on personal assessment, clear explanation and direct handling in the branch.
No shipping required
You do not have to send dental gold anonymously. The assessment takes place personally in one of our branches.
Clear explanation
We explain which factors influence the valuation: alloy, precious metal content, weight, residues and the current rate.
Direct decision
You decide only after the assessment whether you want to sell. If you do not accept the offer, you take your dental gold back with you.
Several branches
Dental gold buying is available in Aachen, Düren, Herzogenrath, Würselen and Alsdorf.
What to bring
What you should bring when selling dental gold.
For the valuation, we need the dental gold itself and a valid identity document. If you would also like to have other precious metals, jewellery or coins assessed, you can bring them with you as well.
- dental gold, crowns, bridges, inlays or dental alloys
- valid identity card or passport
- if available: receipts, laboratory documents or information about origin
- other precious metals, jewellery, coins or bars you would also like to have assessed
- for estates or larger holdings: existing lists or sorting notes
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about selling dental gold.
What is dental gold?
Dental gold usually refers to dental alloys used for crowns, bridges, inlays or other dental work. They may contain gold, silver, platinum, palladium or other components.
Is dental gold always made of gold?
No. Depending on the alloy, dental gold may contain different precious metals and other components. That is why an accurate valuation is only possible after assessing the material.
How is the value of dental gold calculated?
The decisive factors are alloy, recoverable precious metal content, weight and current precious metal rates. Non-precious metal, ceramic, plastic or other residues are not valued like precious metal.
Can I sell dental gold with tooth or ceramic residues?
Yes, you can bring dental gold with residues for assessment. These components are taken into account in the valuation and are not treated like precious metal.
Does dental gold have to be cleaned first?
Perfect cleaning is not necessary. Simply bring the material in a small bag or container.
Is yellow dental gold worth more than white-coloured dental gold?
Not automatically. Colour alone does not reliably show which precious metals are contained. The actual alloy is decisive.
Can white-coloured dental gold be valuable?
Yes, white-coloured dental alloys may also contain valuable components such as palladium, platinum, silver or other metals. The exact composition must be assessed.
Can I sell dental gold from an estate?
Yes. Dental gold from estates or inheritances can be assessed together with jewellery, coins, bars or other precious metals.
Do I need proof or a certificate?
A certificate is usually not required for the initial assessment. If documents, receipts or laboratory information are available, they may support the valuation.
Do I receive the current gold price for dental gold?
The current gold price is an important basis. Dental gold is assessed according to specific alloy, precious metal content, recoverable weight and material condition. The gold rate is therefore not automatically the purchase price.
Can I sell dental gold at every branch?
Yes, dental gold can be assessed personally at our gold-buying branches in Aachen, Düren, Herzogenrath, Würselen and Alsdorf.
Do I have to sell immediately?
No. After the assessment, you receive a clear valuation and only then decide whether you want to sell.
Is shipping required?
No. The valuation takes place personally in our branches. You do not have to send your dental gold anonymously.
When do I receive the money?
If you accept the offer, the payout is made directly in the branch. The exact process is discussed on site.
Can I sell dental gold together with other gold?
Yes. You can bring dental gold together with jewellery, old gold, coins, bars, silver, platinum or palladium for assessment.
