Goldsmith Refining values dental scrap through a melt and assay process. This means your dental scrap is heated to remove any waste and isolate precious metals. Following this, the purity and mass of four precious metals; Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium are identified. What you earn for your scrap is based on the current spot market price per gram for each of these metals.

Cash buyers may come into your practice and offer to pay you cash on the spot for your dental scrap. They often use a scale and/or eyeball valuing to determine how much to pay you. Weight alone cannot account for the percentage or purity of the different metals in your scrap. Ultimately, cash buyers undervalue your scrap and pay you a worse price. At Goldsmith Refining, the value of your scrap is calculated by a refining process that melts your scrap and analyses the precious metals contained within, ensuring you get the highest and fairest payment, every time.

Recycling dental scrap has many environmental benefits. When you refine your scrap, the metal gets turned into new metal items like coins and is diverted from landfill heaps across the world. Recycling precious metals also reduces demand stress on finite resources. By giving your scrap a second life, you are supporting a more sustainable and circular economy.
