Only get amalgams replaced by a Biologic Dentist and make sure you ask for composites with no aluminum. Mercury fillings must be removed in a certain order or you can get very ill or not get well. Removal/replacement is approximately $100 per tooth.

I'm sorry to say this, since you are SUCH a fan from this person... and you do sell him really hard here. But my husband had dental treatment done with dr. Morales last year, and a few months ago, they all (about 20 fillings) showed in his new x rays as having some sort of METAL CONTENT. I was shocked! (funny enough, the ones he did for me weren't the same).
We would have been even more desapointed if it wasn't for the fact that we were already aware of the poor quality of his work, as most of it had to be redone (by another competent dentist)... Not to mentione that (after a year) since my last appointment with Morales, I still have half of my mouth paralized, maybe as a consecuence of him working on a tooth that had an amalgam, without taking any precaucions whatsoever!.
It was a classic case of "you get what you pay for", and we still regret it...
I am glad that last time at his office they were about 4 hrs behind schedule, so we didn't have time to do amalgam removal... I don't want to think what could have happened! That probably saved my life...
Just to keep things REAL,
Peace.
