I can give ya both on both. (Does that make sense?) Plan on paying out the ass for implants, especially if it's more than one unit or if it's very involved. How many teeth? If you're planning on implants, make damn sure you've got a top-notch dentist who specializes in implants. I've seen botched implant jobs that ended up costing patients $14k+ just to repair the damages.
$75 was a decent price on the composite filling. Insurance doesn't cover very much on those because they're considered cosmetic.
As for amalgam fillings (silver), they're still safe to get. Only years ago did they contain mercury. They no longer do.
