Just get over it! Go with the option you prefer and forget it.

I was with my dentist for a couple of years and she was "watching" a
filling for ages.. she left and I found another denist who on the
first visit, said he would like to refill that tooth. It's
understandable. He didn't have any history to go on. If the
differences had have been any greater than that I'd have walked and
got another opinion.

Use your common sense.
