Compare Dental Scrap Refining Settlements

Compare comparable portions of an eligible dental scrap lot with CrownMen and your current refiner. Review the results and complete settlements on the same pricing basis.

How It Works

  • 1

    Choose Comparable Material

    Start with an eligible lot of dental scrap. A random split can produce different outcomes if the portions contain different material or alloy mixes.

  • 2

    Divide the Lot

    Divide comparable portions of the same lot between CrownMen and your current refiner.

  • 3

    Use Comparable Pricing

    Use the same or comparable spot-price timing so changing metal prices do not distort the comparison.

  • 4

    Review the Results

    Compare CrownMen’s X-ray results with those from your current refiner, along with weights and metal percentages. X-ray results alone do not establish which payout is higher.

  • 5

    Compare Complete Settlements

    Review material results, pricing basis, applicable deductions and final settlement on the same basis, not just the payment amount.

Important Disclaimer

CrownMen is committed to evaluating your material precisely and fairly according to our established procedures. However, due to the natural variance in dental scrap and differing methodologies across refineries, CrownMen does not guarantee that our payment will always be higher than another processor. The CrownMen Challenge is designed for you to compare the overall experience, transparency, and integrity of our service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CrownMen Challenge work?

Choose eligible dental scrap, divide comparable portions of the same lot between CrownMen and your current refiner, then compare their results and settlements using comparable metal-pricing conditions.

Can I compare CrownMen with my current dental scrap refiner?

Yes. The CrownMen Challenge is currently active and lets customers compare CrownMen with their current processor or refiner. Call (402) 290-9000 to discuss eligible material.

How should I divide material for a fair comparison?

Use comparable portions of the same eligible lot. A random split can lead to different results if the portions contain different materials or alloy mixes.

Why does spot-price timing matter?

Metal prices can change. Compare results using the same or comparable spot-price timing so the price basis does not distort the comparison.

Can I compare X-ray results?

Yes. Compare CrownMen’s X-ray results with those provided by your current refiner, alongside weights, metal percentages, applicable pricing and deductions, and the final settlement. X-ray results alone do not establish which payout is higher.

Does CrownMen guarantee a higher payment?

No. CrownMen does not guarantee that its payment will be higher than another refiner’s. The Challenge is an opportunity to evaluate comparable results and settlement information.
