Will dental filling be done in the same tooth (after first one comes out remaining in place for two years)?

Replacing fillings: This seemingly simple question is not quite that easy to answer, especially sight unseen. Can a filling be replaced? Yes. However, it might require more than just a filling based upon the condition of the tooth and the reason why it needs replacement. If it just chipped, discolored or slightly more decay, then yes. If substantial decay, fracture, nerve exposure, etc, probably not.

Yes: If a filling falls out, it needs to be replaced. Ithe tooth may need a crown or just another filling. Your dentist will be happy to take care of this for you!

Yes: I think your asking if another filling can be done on a tooth that may have lost a filling that was in place for 2 years. The answer is yes and no. It depends on why the filling came out in the first place. A stronger filling, such as porcelain may need to be used or the bonding technique may need to be improved. However, theoretically you can put another filling in as long as it a solid tooth.
