Default Replacing metal dental fillings???

Dentist is saying we should have our metal tooth fillings removed and replaced with white fillings. The fillings are NOT leaking. Also, said our teeth are cracked (not the filling, but the teeth). Has anyone with cracked teeth had their old fillings removed and replaced with the white material they use now? I had a concern that they remove the old filling plus a little more and if the teeth are cracked that things might not go well. I can just picture the teeth collapsing. The dental fillings are rather large and some teeth have more than one surface that has a filling plus cracks. Anyone have okay or bad results?
