dental gold
Precious tooth filling
Dental gold is a gold alloy used in dentistry for crowns, bridges, fillings, and other restorations.
Pure gold is too soft for chewing forces, so dental gold typically contains gold mixed with silver, copper, platinum, or palladium for durability.
It remains valued for its biocompatibility and longevity: The dentist recommended dental gold for the back molar.
Scrap dental gold from old fillings and crowns can be sold for its metal content.
