Sounds about right. Costs can range from about 120 - 300 and this depends on size of fillings, plus the dentist.

Best idea is to phone, email or type a letter print it off and send it to every biologic dentist near you and get an idea of the range of costs for amalgam removal. They should be able to give you an idea of that. E.g. how much for a small or a large amalgam replacement.

You should not have to go in and fork out for a consultation for this. They should all be open to giving you a vague estimate at least at what you could be looking at on email, phone or response to a letter.

For those that try and get you to pay out for a consultation rather than giving you any help or information beforehand? I'd be wary of. Those that are open to giving you some ideas of cost and information for free before you even decide to have a consultation would seem a better bet to me.

I always get as much information I can before I even SEE the dentist and if I dont take to the person on email or phone and i feel they are trying to suck me into an expensive consultation rather than give me some very simple free answers beforehand, I usually go elsewhere.
