Hi
Yes, dentist will always try to replicate the shape of teeth while filling a cavity. There are many options like composite filling, inlay, onlay or crown. That depend on the size of cavity and the extent of decay. Cost vary from city to city and dentist to dentist. Consult an Endodontist to know your options and cost. Every filling has long durability. All depends on how you take care of it and your oral hygiene.
Next Steps
Visit an Endodontist or a General Dentist.
