Your Dental Scrap is Worth More Than Ever!

Jacob Sigmon

TURNING IN YOUR DENTAL SCRAP

Most offices have that container in a drawer that contains dental scrap. It contains valuable alloys that you can turn in to refine for money, gold coins or direct deposit. We partner with a couple different companies to help you get the most out of those containers. Many times, the money you receive from the containers can help pay for office holiday parties or part of the equipment that you might need in the office.

Some offices turn their containers into the “cash guy”. They will typically pay only on weight. Your dental scrap is worth much more than just the weight of the container. It’s highly recommended to have the material analyzed so you can know its true value!

Let’s look at the current prices as of June 3, 2024 for the big 4 alloys in dental scrap market:

  • Gold

  • Silver

  • Palladium

  • Platinum

The combination of all 4 have settlements that are of the highest that we have seen. Let’s take a look at what those jars might look like and the amount of money you could receive DEPENDING on what’s in those jars. See 2 real examples below.

Below is a video that shows the steps of the refinery process that Argen takes. I have visited Argen many times and can attest to their meticulous process of getting you the exact composition and the value of the material that you turn in.

If you would like for me to stop by and collect your canister of dental scrap to have it evaluated, please fill out the form below or contact me. Once they evaluate it, they will come up with a settlement in which you accept or not accept. If you choose to not accept it, they will send you back the entire assay so that you can have with a value associated with it.
