While placing restorations on wisdom teeth are possible, they are extremely difficult to do well. Lack of space and access creates challenges for a dentist to place a proper restoration. Plus, they are always prone to additional decay due to difficult access for hygiene. Any wisdom tooth with decay or an old filling that is deteriorating, is best to be extracted.
