Our XRF Testing Process
Dental gold is never 100% pure gold. Up to 30% of its composition consists of other valuable precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, and silver, blended in by manufacturers to increase structural strength and durability.
Because of this complex elemental mixture, dental gold is evaluated exclusively using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. The XRF analyzes the metal micromillimeters deep to measure the percentage of gold present.
How We Categorize Dental Gold & Alloys
We then use the exact XRF percentages to sort your dental items into standardized payout categories:
- Yellow Dental Gold: Requires a minimum of 60% gold content.
- White Dental Gold: Requires a minimum of 25% gold content.
- Platinum & Palladium Dental Alloys: Requires a minimum of 20% combined platinum and palladium OR 10% gold content.
