if your old amalgam fillinga are getting sticky or breaking down, then you will need to replace them eventually. if he is suggesting it just because they're old you can disregard his suggestion if they're not causing you problems.
the new materials that are toofypeg coloured are a vanity thing as someone posted. the amalgam is still available and is still less expensive than the new materials. that's a choice thing on your part.
as far as the costs go, the amount he's quoting does seem high, but it depends on how long he's figuring for it to take and what rate he charges per time unit. i will need a crown in the near future, but $1400 is about the cost for a gold crown for me, not just for replacing fillings.
ask your friends if they're happy with their dentists and get another opinion before you do this work with your guy. ask him questions about the state of your fillings and whatnot so you will have an idea of what to ask the 2nd opinion dentist about after you get his take on your teeth.
