I think they have and are affecting my health. I'm going to see what it costs to have the fillings replaced. I have no idea how many i have. But i know there's a chance I'll lose a tooth. One filling is really basically my tooth it'll be in pieces. But I'm hoping an experienced dentist can save the tooth.

Anyone have mercury fillings removed? Any cost estimates for me? Are you happy with your decision?

I removed and replaced them simply because they were old fillings. You’ll need a crown on that tooth you are talking about. Price depends on the dentist and your insurance. Dental is so expensive no matter how you go about it.

Yes I am happy, I don’t have particularly good teeth so I have to take care of them

I’ve had most of my old fillings replaced and crowns put in because those old fillings just go bad as they get old. My dentist explained that over time, those old-type fillings expand and contract causing the teeth to crack and break, which is exactly what started happening with mine.
