About GoldBurs

When Effi Schneider first considered leaving his successful professional boxing career for a career in business, he told himself he would make the move only for an opportunity to focus his boundless energy and ingenuity on a field in which he could one day deliver a level of quality and value unmatched by his competition. After speaking at length with a relative who owned one of the world’s most renowned bur manufacturers and conducting extensive due diligence about the industry, he concluded that the bur market represented such an opportunity.

Effi started his new business in 1992. He knew that if he were to one day achieve his goal of offering an unmatched combination of quality and value, he had a great deal to learn: about dentistry, about the challenges of running a dental practice, and especially about the various clinical procedures in which burs are used.And learn he did..

Here are three key insights Effi has picked up over the past 34 years:

  • While many dentists assume that “a bur is a bur,” nothing could be further from the truth.
  • Using the right bur for the right situation can make all the difference in the world in terms of patient comfort, practitioner comfort, chairside time, clinical outcomes, and the practice’s bottom line.
  • In particular, gold plated burs are the “bur-fect” solution for optimizing visual contrast in the operating field, reducing handpiece heat and vibration, and preventing corrosion in order to reduce the need for costly handpiece repair and replacement.

For those reasons, Effi decided that his company would focus almost exclusively on 24 karat gold plated burs, with a particular focus on gold plated diamond burs using diamonds sourced exclusively from De Beers. But he realized that to truly stand apart from other bur manufacturers, he would stand out in two other ways. First, he would deliver unmatched customer care by maintaining extensive inventories and delivering timely processing of shipments. Second, he would deliver unmatched value by producing affordably-priced gold plated thanks to exceptional economies of scale, by making his burs strong enough to be used multiple times and corrosion-free to reduce the need for costly handpiece repair and replacement, and by selling directly to his customers rather than through costly middlemen.

Driven by Effi’s incredible will to succeed and the help of a small but dedicated crew of bur experts, GoldBurs.com is now in its 35th year of supporting thousands of valued customers across the United States and many other countries by delivering “24K Gold Plated Bur-fection at Brilliant Prices.”
