Dental Bonding may be the right answer for you in order to ensure exceptional, natural-looking results. It can be accomplished in just one dental visit. However, it is recommended to contact a dentist in your area for a complete evaluation.

Etching does not damage enamel. It prepare the enamel for bonding procedure but in general it does not damage the surface. Current composite materials are less likely to stain then older generations however they still will over many years just as natural enamel. But they do stain at different rate.

It is difficult to say that the tooth will look exactly the same if the composite restoration is removed. Only the dentist who placed the restoration can answer that question. 

Dental insurance plans vary even from the same insurance company. However, generally they cover restoration of teeth due to decay. Some insurance plans cover veneers but not many. Best to see a dentist as soon as possible before more of your tooth breaks down and the nerve becomes involved.
