Answers:
I don't ask for anything specific and mine have been white. I think that is the norm. I actually heard someone comment on how they could tell how old a filling was based on the color so I think white is how it's done now. Health Question & Answer

The mercury fillings are safe or the Food and Drug Administration would not allow them. The mercury is bound tightly in the compound.

You can certainly ask for the white ones. They look much better. You will have to pay more. They are not always covered by insurance, so you may have to pay the difference.Health Question & Answer

Sure.
Most dentists use composite filings which are white.Health Question & Answer
