Dental Gold Value Calculator – How Much is A Gold Tooth Worth
Dental Gold Value Calculator
This free online dental gold value calculator evaluates the monetary worth of gold tooth on the basis of purity, weight, and current market rates.
If you have a dental crown weighing 2.8 grams with 16K purity, the calculator considers:
- Pure gold content (16K = 66.7% purity)
- Current market price (e.g., $2,000 per ounce)
- Weight conversion (2.8g = 0.090 troy ounces)
Value = 2.8g × 66.7% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $120.13
- Crown Bridge (3.5g, 18K): Value = 3.5g × 75% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $168.81
- Dental Inlay (1.2g, 22K): Value = 1.2g × 91.7% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $70.81
- Full Gold Crown (2.4g, 16K): Value = 2.4g × 66.7% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $102.96
- Partial Denture (4.8g, 20K): Value = 4.8g × 83.3% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $257.41
- Gold Filling (0.8g, 24K): Value = 0.8g × 99.9% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $51.44

Dental Gold Value Formula
The formula is:
Value = Weight × Purity percentage × (Current gold price ÷ 31.1)Where:
- Weight is in grams
- Purity percentage is based on karats (24K = 99.9%)
- 31.1 is the conversion factor from troy ounces to grams
For a 5g crown at 18K with gold at $2,000/oz:
Value = 5g × 75% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $241.16How to Calculate How Much a Gold Tooth is Worth
To determine a gold tooth’s value:

For a 3g gold tooth with 16K purity:
Value = 3g × 66.7% × ($2,000 ÷ 31.1) = $128.70How Much is Dental Gold Worth Per Ounce?

What is Dental Gold?
Dental gold is a unique and specialized type of gold alloy specifically designed for use in dentistry. Unlike pure gold, this material is a carefully crafted mixture of gold and other metals such as silver, copper, platinum, or palladium. Typically, dental gold contains between 10-20% pure gold, with the remaining percentage composed of additional metals that enhance its strength, durability, and workability.
