How Much Is Dental Scrap Worth
Dental scrap can contain a surprising amount of valuable metals. The exact value depends on several important factors.
What Determines Value
- Type of material such as crowns, bridges, PFM, or lab scrap
- Metal content including gold, platinum, palladium, and silver
- Weight of the scrap
- Current market prices
Why Estimates Vary
No two batches of dental scrap are identical. Even similar-looking crowns can have very different metal compositions.
The Importance of Professional Refining
Accurate refining ensures that all precious metals are properly recovered and measured, leading to fair payouts.
