There is money in refining precious metals. That's why companies that offer cash for gold are springing up like tulips and daffodils after a spring rain. Unfortunately, transactions with many of these businesses end up enriching the buyer, but shortchanging the seller rather dramatically. Finding a reputable and safe way to receive excellent value for gold and other precious metals is a problem that is too familiar to dentists. Who is the person who calls on your office and wants to refine your gold? Are you being paid fair value? How would you know? Are these people also buying your staff's unwanted jewelry? Are they being fairly compensated?

In response to our members' requests for assistance with this challenge, SCDA did the legwork to identify a reputable precious metals refiner who would offer members an excellent return on their metal submissions and scientific documentation of the metal content submitted. D-MMEX EasyRefine is endorsed by the SCDA for members' precious metal refining needs. That endorsement came in 2005 and has helped many members receive fair market value for their precious metals.

TRUST: The Most Precious Commodity

D-MMEX EasyRefinebuilt its business model on establishing trust-the most precious commodity of all. D-MMEX designed a process that includes free, insured shipping of your precious metal submissions in sealed containers to the facility in Livonia, Mich. Each shipment is individually smelted. A core sample is then sent for an independent assay, or test, to determine its true metal content. An assay report is sent to D-MMEX EasyRefine and the test results are applied to the smelted bar to determine the physical value of the materials submitted.

D-MMEX assigns values based on the London precious metals market and prices can be checked daily at easyrefine.com. Our endorsed refiner provides a generous payment on the values of metals:

·         97 percent on gold

·         90 percent on platinum and silver

·         85 percent on palladium

In addition, SCDA members receive a 5 percent bonus on the full value of the metals submitted. And, you receive the written assay that shows on what basis you are being compensated. D-MMEX EasyRefine pays you with a cashier's check in about 10 days from the date of submission.

"I wanted to create a process that was completely transparent so dentists could readily see why they were compensated as they were," David Morris, D-MMEX president, says. "Our process is simple. It is fast and accurate and it has inherent integrity. I cannot say that we are better than any of our competitors; only you can judge that based on the results you get. But I can say that we have many repeat clients among SCDA dentists and from dentists in the 11 other states whose associations endorse D-MMEX. I invite you to give us try."

A Benefit for Your Employees

While D-MMEX EasyRefine focuses its dental industry marketing on refining metals found in broken crowns and bridges, metal filings, bench sweepings and extractor bags, precious metals from any source can be submitted. That means your employees can take advantage of the favorable terms offered to SCDA members if they wish to sell their unwanted jewelry.

Morris suggests that all natural or lab-created gemstones be removed from settings before jewelry is submitted, as D-MMEX provides no compensation for stones. A jeweler can remove the stones from their settings.
