Don’t take our word for it; see what our customers have to say.
Thank you Scientific Metals. Attached you will find the initial offer on the melted bar of $ 3,250.00 I received from (-----) a few weeks ago- referred to me by my dental supply company rep. Your final settlement of $4,719.15 is way higher, more than 40% higher. When I looked at the fine print of the initial company's sheet, it had a total of 38% total fees and charges called accountability charges. Thank you again.

"I recently used Scientific Metals for my extracted gold crowns, PFM’s, old partials, and other gold scrap and the settlement was SUBSTANTIALLY more than what I had previously been receiving – for a long time."
Dr. Tony Randi, DDS
"ACP has chosen an extremely reliable and honest company to partner with for refining . In an industry based on trust, Scientific Metals delivers! I highly recommend scientific Metals to my ACP colleagues!"
Dr. William Priester, DDS
"Scientific Metals has no sales reps that get a commission or percentage of the scrap. What this means is we get a higher return. Anyone not using Scientific Metals for their scrap refining should start."

"Dave, We just received a call from your office telling us the amount is for $2,786.43. This is truly amazing…..we were quoted $750 with _____. We will be telling all the offices in the area to send to you."
Dr. Shapiro, DDS
"We were not satisfied with the scrap settlement offer of $1610.00 when we gave our office scrap to our dental supply distributor rep who told us they had a joint venture with a refining company. We requested they return to us the melted bar and we sent it off to a Scientific Metals who I had read about in Dentaltown. Results – about 35% higher dollar settlement from Scientific Metals – $2190.00."

"We have been using Scientific Metals for our scrap metal refining for many years now. We have tried other metal companies but Scientific Metals is the most trustworthy and honest refining company. We highly recommend Scientific Metals for your OMS office and think AAOMS has chosen a very reliable and reputable company for their approved program for AAOMS Members."
Dr. Keith Smith, DDS
"I am very pleased with the result and would encourage my colleagues to contact them to cash in their scrap metal. I want to thank the ACP for partnering with such a fine organization."
Nantucket Family Dentistry
"Just a note to let you know that you guys “knocked it out of the park” AGAIN!!! Our assay on our dental scrap came back to be more than we expected for the second time. We have used other refiners in the past, and we have been consistently disappointed in either the service or the “sketchy” results. Thank you for the fast service and “family business” feel that you guys put forth. Our Dr. (Roy Davis) is the BEST!! Whatever we get back from you guys gets divided evenly among the staff. Therefore everyone one in the office is on board with saving the tiniest bit of scrap they find. This last batch yielded $1,300.00 per employee!! Now that’s a nice surprise!! Thanks again, and have a great day!!"
Dr. Troy Follmar, DDS
"My experience with Scientific Metals was fantastic..Dave was very responsive and kept me informed through the entire transaction. I will definitely be a return customer."
Nantucket Family Dentistry
"Wow!!! How exciting!! That’s more than we were guessing. In the past with other refiners it was always way less than we expect. We are already working on our next batch."
Vancouver Oral Surgery
"Just wanted to say thank you so much for your prompt service and really great returns on”all” the scrap metal returns! We look forward to another great year with Scientific Metals!"
Dr. Gary Orentlicher, DDS
"I have found Scientific Metals to be trustworthy, honest, and fair. For those AAOMS members not processing your scrap, I encourage you do so, with Scientific Metals – for many reasons. For those already processing scrap elsewhere, I encourage you to try Scientific Metals."
Dr. Scott Arndt, DDS
"I have been using Scientific Metals since 2009. Take the time to send it in to Scientific Metals vs the door to door refiners. It’s definitely worth the time."
Dr. Bradley Dilling, DDS
"I have always had a positive experience with Scientific Metals. I have been using them to refine dental materials for years. They are always easy to work with, have a fast turn around, and give a good and honest return on the materials sent."
Dr. Bradley Dilling, DDS
"Dave, I just wanted you to know that I am extremely happy with the service your company has provided my practice for the recovery and reimbursement for used scrap metals. I have on occasion used other scrap metal recovery companies but none has matched your exacting standards and thoroughness in documenting the metals recovered. Thanks again – and I would like to request another prepaid shipment container to prepare my next shipment for Scientific Metals."
Dr. Robert Kirk, DDS
"Thank you for your great service. As long as I’m practicing dentistry, I’ll be sending my scrap to Scientific Metals."
Heritage Dental
"We are receiving much more for our returns with you than we ever have before. We’ve always used the same “drop by” rep who only separated the scrap into “white” and “yellow” before and paid us cash on the spot. Our office did this for the previous 40 YEARS before I got here! Once I joined the team, I didn’t think that that company, rep and “method” were providing us a very good (or honest!) deal, so shortly after I started working here I started researching alternatives and found out about you from Dentaltown. When I read our staff the email results of the refining just now (Dr. W. generously splits the $ results of our scrap returns among the staff), they said, “Make SURE we save the information for that new place you are sending our scrap metal to.” It truly is significantly more. The assay is a much fairer process. Our office is thrilled with how easy you guys make it to send in our returns, how nice, friendly, and helpful you all are, and especially the much larger checks we receive! I will be leaving, but Dr. Willhide and Heritage Dental will be staying with Scientific Metals for keeps."
Dr. Lawrence Coffin, DDS
"I really appreciate your prompt service, your continuous communication by email, and your obvious commitment to customer service. I am always impressed with your high level of professionalism."

"Scientific Metals does a great job in delivering the most accurate and honest scrap metal refining results . I think all AAOMS members would benefit greatly from this approved program. The returns greatly exceed the cash offers we used to get."
Dr. Jason Holden, DDS Prosthodontist
"I have been using Scientific Metals for almost 10 years now as part of the ACP Affininty Refining Program. I have always felt that the returns have been accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. ACP has chosen the right refiner to partner with . I recommend Scientific Metals to my ACP colleagues."
Hershberger Dental
"I would highly recommend Scientific Metals to dentists and labs, which I do. Their customer service is top notch."
Dr. Wolfgang Schaller, DDS
"I sent my last batch to Scientific Metals, got back quite a bit more than expected, compared to who I had been using."
John Dicamilla
"As former president of both the National Association of Dental Laboratories (NADL) and Arizona Dental Lab Association, I have dealt with many refining companies for my scrap metals and have been very impressed with Scientific Metals. I am extremely confident that the return was an accurate reflection of my scrap."
Dr. Paul Barganier, DDS
"Dave you’re awesome! The guy that comes around every so often usually leaves me about $1500 for this much metal. Thank you for the $3,500 check which is at least double what I would usually get. You have my business from now on."

Dr. Anthony Sciascia, DDS
"I recently submitted a substantial amount of dental scrap to Scientific Metals for refinement. Naturally, I was a bit nervous about sending 20 years worth of gold scraps off to be assayed. I was also a bit skeptical of all refining companies after being ripped off by another company many years ago. The endorsement by the Wisconsin Dental Association gave me some confidence that I was dealing with an honest, legitimate company. My first phone call to Mr. Weinberg dissolved all of my apprehension in proceeding. I was very impressed with the personal, honest service that I received throughout the entire process. A Fed-X label was sent to me and my shipment was insured. There was a follow-up e-mail when the shipment was received and also when my settlement check and bullion were being shipped to me. I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and security that I witnessed at every step."
Dr. Tim Muscaro, DDS
"I recently sent in a large amount of scrap and was so happy with the entire process. You staff handled my initial phone call with great professionalism, the Fed Ex pickup was prompt, and, most importantly, I received a check in about a week for an amount that greatly exceeded my expectations! I feel very lucky to have seen the article in Dentaltown that inspired me to call you. I will use no other in the future. Thanks."
Dr. David Kusovitsky, DDS
"After years of trading in my scrap metal with a very popular refiner, your company has shown itself to be honest and fair. Even with the higher metal prices, my reimbursement with you was still a lot larger than with similar weights of material in the past.” You’ve also been a pleasure to deal with."
Dr. Robert Berg, DMD
"Scientific Metals has consistently provided me honest and reliable refining reimbursements for many years now."
Dr. Heather Clark, DDS
"I have been dealing with Scientific Metals since I met them at a Townie Meeting in Las Vegas a few years ago. I didn’t realize that I was getting ripped off by the door to door salesmen until I received a full breakdown of my metals from Scientific Metals. They make the process of refining my scrap metal quick and easy. I have always had a great experience with Mark and Dave. Thank you!"
Dr. David Owocki, DMD
"I have sent scrap metal from my practice for several years to Scientific Metals for a number of reasons. Most importantly, Mark and David are easily accessible and exceptional communicators from beginning to end. They make the process simple and pay comparatively more than other refiners I’ve used. They are timely in their composition analysis and payment. As long as I am in practice, I will use their services. No company comes close to Scientific Metals."
Dr. Gene Shoemaker, DDS
Past President, WDA
"The returns I received from Scientific Metals was significantly higher than others before. Great Customer Service that included a comprehensive written breakdown of all metals recovered. I strongly recommend their service!"
Dr. Robert Kogen, DDS
"I would add my kudos to Scientific Metals. For years I would blindly give my scrap to a lady who visited my office, offering cash from a rolled up wad in her purse. As she weighed the scrap on site and then referred to her calculator, she gleefully peeled off a few hundred dollars, handed it to me and off she went. After a few years of this, I decided to give Scientific Metals a call based on DentalTown’s recommendation. Mind you, with the same amount of scrap I usually turn in, Scientific Metals sent me a check THREE times of what the lady usually offered. Dave has always been prompt with payment, telephone available and most importantly, HONEST.I tip my hat to them and will continue to do business with them."
Dr. Nick Morra, DDS
"Awesome! You always give me great news. As always, I appreciate your service."
