Can a filling change tooth shape?

September 10, 2014
Asked By:sa222 in United Kingdom, GB

I have had my filling between my left front tooth and side tooth replaced and now my tooth does not look straight anymore. It looks as though the tooth has tilted. Especially from the bottom, it looks slanted. Could it be that the filling has spread out and changed the shape? Is it possible that the tooth has moved? Can this be remedied?
