A member asked:
What happens if you asked a dentist to refill a filling will they do it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly...: It really depends on the reasons. Replacing a defective restoration with another restoration may not always be possible... the tooth may have broken down to a point where it now needs a crown. Just because you ask does not mean it can be done.
