Sorry, I forgot to answer your initial questions. I replaced my amalgams with composite and it was covered by my insurance. 80% at least. I had a DMO and they would not cover any of it, so I switched to a better insurance. For my husband and I, the insurance cost me about $75 a month, so it is not cheap. my amalgams were very old and my dentist listed them as "defective". It was basically the same cost as a filing. I took a chance and went to a regular dentist, but don't really recommend this to others. So, the cost would be more for a Biological dentist. Only 60% is covered by a biological dentist with my insurance. My dentist used all the safety protocols except I had no oxygen or safety goggles.
