Broken down, cracked or leaking fillings can lead to more significant problems if not replaced in time. The general size of the old filling and the extent of the breakdown of the tooth determines what is the best treatment option .

A small filling can be replaced with a tooth-coloured resin filling in one appointment. If the filling is larger or the remaining tooth is weak, a porcelain inlay/onlay or porcelain crown may be a better long term restoration.
