The filling has obviously shrunk with time (got it in 2019).
As you can see on the front portion, I recently had that filled also.
Curious how much longer that tooth could last, as I've read composite filling typically have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years.
The dentist seemed to get rid of so much tooth putting the filling in also, as when I compare to the other side:
There's obvious much more tooth there.
In any case, can that filling be "topped up" by adding more composite, without further drilling and traumatizing the nerve?
This is an x-ray of the first/filled tooth, before I had that frontal cavity filled a few days ago.
