It's difficult to judge as you have not given a picture of your affected tooth or a picture of radiograph of your tooth. Moreover you also haven't mentioned the type of restoration that has been done.
Usually this sensitivity occurs when filling is chipped off or filling has some unremoved affected and exposed dentin.
Next Steps
Rx
-Thermoseal RA toothpaste - apply it over the affected sensitive area, leave it for a minute and then brush your teeth like you normally would.
-Sensodent - K mouthwash- take 5ml of mouthwash and rinse your mouth after brushing.
Try ringing up your dentists who restored your teeth, he/she have seen your intraoral condition so he/she might tell you better.
