See below: Why do you feel that these restorations need to be redone? Sensitivity is normal and transient with many restorations. There are many variables to cause sensitivity including the depth of the restoration. Speak with your dentist or call a dental school in your area for a non-biased second opinion.

Composite fillings : Need more information: why do you think the fillings failed; how long ago were the teeth restored; are you having pain to hot, cold, or chewing; did the teeth fracture? Have you returned to your dentist to have the problem corrected?

Prob with composite: Composite restorations (white fillings) are much more technique sensitive to place than other restorative materials. The area needs to be well isolated and the bonding agents need time to react with the tooth before adding the filling material. The material needs to be cured completely with the light. You may want to look for dentist that is a Fellow or Master in the Academy of General Dentisty
