I had 3 amalgam fillings that lasted for about 15 years, and they were drilled out to be replaced with composite. The composite looks 100% better, and I endured a brimstone-esque flavor for over a week when the amalgam shite was removed, as well as being exposed to hella amounts of metal shavings. I don't care if the composites fail early, they will only be replaced with composite - that mercury laden dust cloud probably shortened my life.
