What happens to gold teeth during cremation?
At cremation temperatures, any gold in the teeth will be definitely melted. That means that any metals that get liquefied at those temperatures also get mixed in with the bone fragments. Those bone fragments are then processed, resulting in the final cremated remains or “ashes” that are then returned to the family.
