why would a dentist take out silver fillings and put porceilin fillings

Q. Why would a dentist take out silver fillings and put porceilin fillings? would it be soley cosmetic? or would it take care of teeth that have fracters?

A. Hi

Metal fillings may be replaced because of

1. decay under fillings
2. fracture of filling
3. replacing them for cosmetic reasons.
etc

I hope this helps.

Regards
