I have/had a total of 12 silver fillings and a gold crown with a silver filling under it. I've had the gold crown, the filling under it, and the big filling next to it removed, which was about $1500 (this was the major trouble spot - gold next to amalgam=bad). The total is going to run me around $5000. I highly suggest you check around, as I have had drastically different estimates from different dentists. My dentist is a mercury-free dentist and has removed amalgams from hundreds of patients, although he does not follow the Huggins protocol (this will cost you big bucks, from my estimates). I'm not suggesting one method or the other - do your own digging - but I simply couldn't afford it and I had my doubts about some of the Huggins protocol elements.

The price will depend on the size of the filling, whether or not you need overlays or crowns, and the dentist you go to. I highly suggest at least finding a dentist who practices mercury-free and who will take the proper precautions when removing your fillings. Shop around. Good luck. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
