Can gold and silver fillings be replaced with composite fillings?

If they are small silver fillings can be replaced by composite fillings, which are tooth colored plastic fillings. For larger fillings crowns or a laser inlay can be used, which are made out of tooth colored porcelain. Gold fillings also can be replaced with porcelain material, which is a very long-lasting tooth-colored material.
