Answer:

How much gold is in a crown tooth?

On average, the typical yellow-colored gold dental crown is around 16 karat (67% gold). Besides gold, this type of alloy may also contain amounts of palladium, platinum and silver. Dentists sometimes use silver-colored alloys, “White gold” dental alloys, to make restorations.
