Does filling fall out if its not capped?

Q. I have had many fillings in my front teeth (6-11). Some of them came loose after a couple months. My dentist said that he would like to cap these teeth. He said that my fillings will just keep falling out. Is this true? I have become very depressed about my teeth. I want to keep my teeth for as long as possible. I am only 30. What are my options?

A. If teeth are properly bonded the filllings should not keep falling out – unless there is very little tooth structure left
