What is this dark like under my filling? (photo)

Asked By:ababytooth in Murfreesboro, TN

I received a composite filling on a surface cavity on this tooth about two weeks ago. Now there's this dark line around the bottom edge of the filling. I've been reading about leakage and bonding failure. Is it fixable? Easily fixable? (Also, there's obviously a cavity on the tooth next to it, but that will be filled in the upcoming month.)
