Dental Scrap

Mastermelt has been professionally processing dental materials in London for nearly 40 years.
We serve laboratories and dental practices seeking an efficient, professional, and transparent service.
To ensure a homogeneous melt, we add a quantity of copper to create an alloy with the non-precious elements. A dip sample is then taken from the melt and analysed in our laboratory to determine the fine metal content of the bar. This entire process of melting and assaying typically takes around 6 working days from receipt to payment.
Low-grade dental sweeps are processed separately.

What our customers say about is...

Mastermelt aren’t a household name like Cartier, but like us, they have the same high level of customer service. They also have an enviable quality and environmental approach to their business. We are delighted with the long partnership we have developed and continue to enjoy expert and transparent reclamation
Neil Bates Cartier
Since moving our business to Mastermelt some years ago our returns have been so much better. Because they are interested in helping us improve our business, we have even seen additional benefits from following their reclamation advice. Mastermelt has always given us a first class service and they are a pleasure to deal with, especially Jerry, who really looks after us.
Charles Green
I have never looked back since we started using Mastermelt to process our filings and just wonder why I hadn’t done it sooner. The friendly team provide a service that is clearly documented, fairly priced and amazingly speedy – receiving, processing and paying out on our filings in just 1 week! A real lifesaver when juggling cash-flow some months. Big thanks to Jerry and the team.
Sara SweetSonkai Jewellers
I have been in the Jewellery trade for over 50 years and I would say out of all the bullion dealers I have used during these years (and I have used many) you are the most professional and transparent and returned the best results from my sweep. I will continue to tell fellow jewellers how much I rate the entire service I received from you starting with Jerry right the way through to the final result and payment.
John GilhoolyJ G Jewellery
My 1st sweep I had done by Mastermelt, I was totally blown away. I can recommend Mark and his team for giving me the best service I’ve had (I’ve been at the bench since 1972!) in the trade.
Alan SandfordAlan Sandford Jewellery
I have been using Mastermelt since starting out on my own because they provide a fast, efficient and friendly service every time. They are competitive and payment is always very fast. I wouldn’t look at using any other company to recycle my precious metals.
Stuart HarknessHarkness Premier Jewellers
We have been dealing with the team at Mastermelt for nearly 20 years and they are a brilliant bunch. We know what we’re doing but sometimes we get even more than we were expecting, which is why we trust them and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
John HenshawHenshaw and Emerson
Thank you very much for your continued good service, of which I have found the best in my 50 years in the jewellery trade both in the UK and overseas.

We have used Mastermelts for many years now. From scrap, sweeps, lemels and assay to metal recovery when moving premises, we have always had a great service
David MarshallDavid Marshall London
I have been doing business with Mastermelt since they started over 30 years ago and have always been impressed by their ethics and high standards. They are always working to improve their business and have encouraged me to do the same. The whole team at Mastermelt are incredibly supportive of me and my business and have given me great advice along the way. They are a great company to do business with because they really do care about their customers.
