Our Database Pricing Model is better science that gives you better pricing
Our dental clients come back to us over and over because we:
- Avoid the costly fire assay model. As described previously, it is very inefficient, costly and inappropriate for the dental scrap market.
- Sort and weigh your scrap carefully. Either our Direct Buyers at your offices or our highly trained office staff will sort your dental crowns and/or bridges into four categories: Gold A or B, and White (PFM) A or B, and weigh the sorted material.
- Use a proprietary Pricing Database. Our massive database of thousands of purchases and refining provides us with remarkable analytics around average yields for Gold A, Gold B, White A or White B. We use these averages plus current spot prices to determine our purchase price.
- Deliver higher average prices. Your crowns may actually test out a bit more or a bit less than our average, but because of our sorting, weighing and pricing methodologies, we will consistently give you superior pricing. With our high volumes of scrap coming from dental offices nation-wide, we do much more accurate, large scale, and cost-efficient refine lots. We run a tight ship, thus we have more to pay you and you are the beneficiary.
Higher pricing for PFMs
One other key to dentist satisfaction with our service is our capabilities with PFMs. Most precious metals recovery services fixate on gold. It is shiny, well understood and in the news. Thus, much of the precious metals recovery industry focuses on gold crowns and pay very little for Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) crowns and bridges.
TSC EcoSolutions has invested significant resources in developing processes that enable us to capture more value from PFMs. Rather than give away your PFM scrap at low prices, or throw it away, give us a try!
