Ask before you post, always
You never have to commit to anything to start. Message us on WhatsApp or call, tell us roughly what you have, and send a few clear photos for a quick indicative figure. Nothing leaves your hands until you decide it should, and there is no obligation even then.
GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal gold and silver buying service. Wherever you are, you sell dental gold by post with a free insured Royal Mail label. There is no shop to visit and no counter pressure.
What dental gold we buy
- Gold crowns and caps
- Gold bridges and bridgework
- Gold inlays and onlays
- Gold fillings and dental scrap
Dental gold is an alloy. It is mixed with other metals for hardness, and a crown or bridge often still has porcelain, tooth material or other non-gold components attached. You do not need to remove or clean anything. The XRF assay measures the true gold content and the non-gold parts are simply accounted for in the figure.
What happens, from first message to payment
- A photo and a question. Send photos of your dental gold on WhatsApp. We reply with a quick indicative figure and answer whatever you want to know.
- A prepaid label, on request. Ask for the label when you are ready and we send a free, tracked, signed-for Royal Mail Special Delivery one, or a QR code for the counter.
- You post it. Any padded envelope is fine, posted whenever you choose.
- We assess and write it up. Calibrated weighing plus an XRF assay produce a written, itemised offer for you to read at home.
- Your decision. Accept for payment by Faster Payments, or decline for a free, tracked, insured return.
The valuation, in plain terms
We do not eyeball a figure. Each item is XRF-assayed for purity and weighed on calibrated scales, then valued against the live market rate, and you see the working in writing before you decide. The method is set out in full on how we value gold.
Dental gold is valued on its measured gold content, not its total weight. Each piece is XRF-assayed to determine the actual proportion of gold in the alloy, and any attached porcelain, tooth material or base metal is excluded from the figure. Your written breakdown shows the confirmed gold content and the offer it produces.
Cover in transit
Your parcel is insured up to £2,500 via Royal Mail Special Delivery. The prepaid label is Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed: full tracking, a signature on delivery, arranged with that cover per parcel. Higher-value items are no problem, but please message us first so the cover and the packing approach match the value. Postage and insurance explains it fully.
If the offer is not for you
Then nothing happens except a free return. We send your items back by tracked, insured post at our cost, with no fee for declining and no follow-up. A valuation is only worth having if you can turn it down freely, so you can. See what happens if I decline the offer.
Who this helps
This suits people who have kept old crowns or bridges after dental work, families who have found dental gold while clearing a relative’s belongings, and anyone who assumed a single crown was not worth anything, small pieces of dental gold still hold genuine, confirmable value.
Payment, once you accept
When you say yes to the written offer, GoldPaid pays by Faster Payments bank transfer to your nominated account. You give those details only at the point you accept, never as a condition of getting an offer.
Why this is a calmer way to sell
Three things make GoldPaid a steadier route than a counter sale. You see a measured valuation in writing, not a verbal estimate. You decide at home, with nobody waiting. And if you decline, the return is free, tracked and insured, so obtaining the valuation costs you nothing.
Common questions
Is a single gold crown worth selling?
It can be. Dental gold is an alloy, so a crown is not pure gold, but it still holds genuine value. The XRF assay confirms the actual gold content, and you see the figure before you decide anything.
How is dental gold valued if it is not pure gold?
It is valued on its measured gold content. The XRF assay determines the proportion of gold in the alloy; non-gold components are excluded. Your written breakdown shows the confirmed content and the offer.
What if I decline the offer?
Your items are returned to you free of charge by tracked, insured Royal Mail post. There is no fee for declining and no follow-up pressure.
