10K vs 14K vs 18K Gold Grillz
Karat measures the proportion of gold in an alloy, not the number of teeth or the quality of your fit. Our 10K, 14K and 18K grillz are solid metal throughout. Your choice balances gold content, color, budget and how you wear your set.
10K: practical solid gold
10K contains about 41.7% gold. Its higher proportion of other alloy metals generally makes it harder than higher-karat gold, although the exact alloy matters. It is a practical starting point for a solid-gold set with a lighter yellow tone. Our top or bottom six is $699.
14K: a middle ground
14K is commonly marked 585, representing 58.5% gold. It balances gold content with everyday durability and usually has a richer yellow tone than 10K. Our top or bottom six is $949 — $250 more than 10K for the same teeth count.
18K: higher gold content
18K contains 75% gold. Yellow 18K generally has the deepest gold tone of these three and is usually softer, so careful handling matters. Choose it when higher gold content and color are your priorities. Our top or bottom six is $1399.
The right choice for your set
Choose 10K for the lowest solid-gold price, 14K for a balance of content and durability, or 18K when higher gold content is your priority. These are alloy comparisons, not a promise of scratch resistance. Metal allergies and dental concerns should be discussed with your dentist before ordering.
Questions
Does higher karat fit better?
No. Fit comes from your scan or impression and the custom build, not the gold percentage. An Austin 3D scan is our most accurate fitting option.
Can I compare other set sizes?
Yes. The price guide lists every configured size and the builder lets you select the exact combination.
