Amalgam to:: Replacing a silver filling could be done with a tooth colored composite filling, different types of inlays\onlays or a crown. The cost varies depending upon the number of surfaces, type of replacement as well as the type of dental practice. The range is broad. Ask the dentist whom you trust or get a recommendation to discuss your options.

Yes, moderately: A ceramic inlay may run several hundred to near $1k dollars depending on how large and how any surfaces the onlay will cover.. Good luck !
