I had this tooth filling done 4 months ago. Yesterday I saw a dark line between the edge of the filling and my tooth. I brushed it with toothbrush but it didn't come off. It doesn't hurt, could it be cavity since it's only been a few months? That part was healthy before the filling. What could be causing the dark line? Should I have the dentist remove the filling and redo it, or just remove that dark line part and add some filling on top? I'm attaching pics of 4 months ago and today. Thanks.

Gaps can be easily closed with orthodontics. Although Veneers can also work I would suggest going with the less invasive technique and have braces or Invisalign instead.
This is rather large bonding and after ten years it is completely normal to have some staining. It looks as though your best option would be to have to porcelain veneers placed. These will aesthetically look much better and will not stain like dental bonding. Good luck.
