I have a hole in between tooth 8 and 7, the hole was drilled by a dentist and its on the tooth #8. How can I cover up the hole without breaking down my enamel. A lot of what I found online states my tooth would need to be broken down every-time a new filling would be required. I'm also not interested in veneers.
