I was told to have all my wisdom teeth removed "before they caused trouble"... 15 years later (I'm 44) I'm still waiting for them to cause trouble. That was at a dentist that had a fancy office with state of the art equipment. I went to another for the second opinion - he said that there was no reason to muck with the teeth if they weren't bothering me. I stuck with that guy for several years (even though he didn't have virtual reality TV goggles and new age scents....)
OTOH my current dentist recommended replacement of a couple fillings (that are probably 20+ years old) - I visited my son's dentist for a second opinion and he told me they did need replacing, so I had them done, and am still with the same dentist.
My general feeling with dental work (and really, just about anything else...) is "don't fix it if it's not broken, or likely to break".
Plus your prices seem super high - my dentist charges about $100 for a filling (which is covered by my dental plan anyways).
