How do they replace amalgam filling with white filling?

I have to go to the dentist to get my very old amalgam filling removed and put in a white more better looking one. How do they do it? Step by Step.

It's a large amalgam filling in the back of my mouth.How do they replace amalgam filling with white filling?You will be numbed up. The old amalgam filling will be drilled out along with any decay. A new tooth shaded bonded composite filling will be placed into the tooth. It will be smoothed, contoured, the bite adjusted, and the filling polished. Good luck.
