Atlantic Precious Metal Refining is the market leader in dental scrap refining.
Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, our focus is dental and our business is refining. We have more than two decades of experience helping dentists and dental lab owners discover the unexpected worth of items such as extracted gold crowns and workbench dust. You might be surprised to learn how much valuable material is hidden in extractions, carpets, collection traps, and vacuum systems... it really adds up!
Owned and operated by Don Mappin, Jr., a U.S. Air Force veteran and former dental lab technician, Atlantic is the market leader in dental scrap refining servicing 30% of all U.S.-based dental labs. What’s the secret to our success? Our people and our passion for what we do.
Atlantic’s executive team has more than 150 years of combined experience working in the dental and precious metal refining industries. What sets Atlantic apart from other scrap processors is that we are an actual full-scale precious metal refinery. We perform all of the smelting, assaying, and refining processes at our 15,000 sq. ft. refinery. This means there’s no middleman which eliminates third party payouts and results in the highest scrap lot returns in the industry.
Dental scrap is notoriously difficult to assess. Only an experienced and reputable refiner like Atlantic with years of experience working with dental alloys can accurately process this type of scrap.
How we refine precious metal scrap is just as important to us as how we treat our customers, prospects, vendors, and employees. Atlantic is committed to providing superior customer service, dedicated to being precise and paying meticulous attention to detail during the entire refining process, and obligated to maintain the high standards our longtime customers have come to expect and our new clients deserve.
Our focus is dental; our business is refining. Get to know Atlantic.
