Removal of teeth filling

2018-02-09 07:09:30
I got a cavity filled in my molar teeth 2 years back ( it was very deep cavity reaching almost to the surface of the teeth). Now, the filling is getting removed and I need to visit a dentist before the entire filling is removed and the surface is exposed. My question is, will the dentist remove the remaining filling and do the new filling or the new filling would be done over the remaining filling?
