Dentist-Owned Practices: How Much Is Your Dental Scrap Really Worth? (Most Doctors Have No Idea)
For Private Practice Dentists • Oral Surgeons • Prosthodontists • Cosmetic & Implant Practices
Bulk Dental Scrap Only — $10,000 to $1,000,000+ Sellers
Most dentists are sitting on thousands — sometimes hundreds of thousands — in dental scrap value… and don’t even realize it.
Between patient care, surgeries, treatment planning, staffing, insurance, and daily chaos, dental scrap doesn’t always feel like a priority.
A small jar in a drawer.
A box in a cabinet.
Crowns, PFMs, bridges, inlays, and restorations that quietly accumulate over the years.
It doesn’t look like much.
But the truth is…
For many dentist-owned practices, that “scrap” represents:
$10,000 sitting unnoticed
$50,000 waiting to be collected
$100,000+ in value over time
And for high-volume practices — sometimes six or seven figures
The problem?
Most doctors dramatically underestimate its worth — and many who do sell… get paid far less than they should.
Let’s fix that.
Dental Scrap Isn’t Junk — It’s a Hidden Financial Asset
Dentists often see old restorations as removed material — not realized revenue.
But scrap from dental practices frequently contains:
Gold
Platinum
Palladium
Silver
High-value sources include:
Removed crowns and bridges
PFMs
Full gold restorations
Failed cases
Long-term replacement work
Archived material from older patient treatments
If your practice:
Replaces restorations
Performs cosmetic or implant dentistry
Handles full mouth rehabilitation
Or has years of accumulated material
You are generating REAL value every month — whether you cash it in correctly or not.
Why Most Dentists Get Paid Less Than They Should
Let’s be straightforward.
Most dentists get underpaid simply because the dental scrap industry makes it incredibly easy for buyers to pay less than true value.
Here are the most common ways doctors lose money:
❌ Problem #1 — Selling to “Convenient” Buyers
Many practices choose the easiest option:
Someone stops by
Makes a quick offer
No scientific testing
No transparency
Cash exchange
Done
It feels simple.
But “simple” often equals expensive.
When precious metals are involved, trusting the wrong buyer can easily cost a dentist tens of thousands of dollars — without the doctor ever knowing what they truly should have received.
❌ Problem #2 — No Scientific Testing
Dental scrap should never be valued by guessing.
If your scrap is not being scientifically analyzed with professional equipment, you are not being paid correctly.
Real testing should include:
Advanced analyzer technology
Laboratory-grade precision
Verifiable composition results
Transparent explanation
Professional buyers use industry-grade equipment such as ThermoFisher Scientific Niton™ precious metal analyzers — the same trusted technology used in aerospace, medical, and engineering fields.
Anything less invites speculation — and speculation never benefits the seller.
❌ Problem #3 — Mail-In Programs & Instant Quotes
Mail-in refinery and “instant quote” buyers are usually designed to maximize THEIR profit — not yours.
Common issues include:
Blending your scrap with other material
Paying based on averages instead of true value
No real transparency
Delayed payouts
No proof of composition
When real money is involved, shipping your value to someone you’ll never meet is rarely the smartest business decision.
Your Practice Could Be Sitting on $10,000… $50,000… $100,000+ Right Now
Dental practices are often shocked when they finally have their scrap professionally evaluated.
We commonly see:
Single offices sitting on $10K–$50K
Busy specialty practices exceeding $100K
Practices with decades of accumulation holding much more
This isn’t wishful thinking.
This is value you are already generating — but may not be maximizing.
Smart Dental Practices Treat Scrap Like a Business Asset
Top-performing practices don’t treat scrap like trash.
They treat it like revenue.
Here’s what that looks like:
1️⃣ Centralized Collection
No random jars.
No scattered storage.
No “we’ll deal with it later.”
Instead:
Dedicated collection system
Organized storage
Team awareness and training
2️⃣ Secure Handling
Dental scrap is valuable — and should be protected like it.
That means:
Locked storage
Controlled access
Proper accountability
3️⃣ Professional Scientific Testing
This is the difference between guessing and knowing.
Your scrap deserves:
Advanced analyzer testing
Exact metal composition results
Clear explanations
Total transparency
You should never have to “trust a number.”
You should know where it came from.
4️⃣ Working With a Professional, Trusted Buyer
Not a random gold buyer.
Not a mail-in program.
Not someone who “just takes care of it.”
A true professional partner understands:
Dentistry
Precious metals
High-value transactions
Confidential handling
The importance of integrity
Your reputation matters.
Your finances matter.
Your confidence in the process matters.
