Get another opinion.
The guy I've gone to does the same thing. His goal in life is to replace every metal filling that walks in the door with whatever high-tech stuff he uses, and to be paid handsomely for it. He even has the machines to make some of the crowns himself. He does decent work, but I always feel like I'm being sold something.
I have some fillings that could *probably* use replacing but I don't see a need to rush into it, especially given that he has quoted me about $1500/tooth. Given that I can replace the metal with metal for a lot less money, and that I'm in my 50s, even if I have to do each one 3X over the next 30 years or so I'm ahead of the game.
Plus this guy drives a Hummer, not that it means anything!
I'm looking for a different doc.
