Having gold teeth is a trend that continues to pop up among celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Harry Styles, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Madonna, and other wealthy people. In terms of functionality, it’s actually a great metal for filling cavities and for prosthetic teeth because it resists corrosion. But celebrities likely aren’t thinking about that—it’s more of a fashion statement.
What are they wearing?
Though some people decide to get permanent gold teeth, purchasing gold caps is much more popular these days. This style is known as Gold Grills, Gold Fronts, Gold Packs, or Simply Gold teeth. These caps are removable so that the person can wear them whenever they want and then remove them before eating, sleeping, and brushing teeth. Gold teeth are available in karats of gold from 10K–24K. The higher the karat of gold, the less susceptible the gold is to tarnishing, and the greater value of the gold piece.
How about permanent gold teeth?
Gold teeth implants have two pieces—one is a titanium implant that’s surgically screwed into the jawbone, and the other is the actual gold tooth. This gold tooth functions just like a normal tooth because it’s attached to the implanted titanium piece.
What if I have some dental gold?
If you have dental gold in your mouth, it will probably take extensive dental work to extract it, and wouldn’t be worth the trouble to sell it. But if you have some dental gold that’s broken, bring it in to Gems & Jewelry Inc.
How much is dental gold worth?
Gold is bought and sold based on its weight, so if it’s a pretty small piece, let me just warn you that it might not be worth very much. But it’s better to bring it in for an appraisal than just throw or put it away somewhere. If you can get a few dollars from it, why not?! Keep in mind that we are a responsible, reputable company that always respects its customers. So you can count on us to give you a reasonable offer for your dental gold, jewelry, precious gems, silver, and scrap gold.
