Hello sir....
you can remove the composite filling but the old tooth struture wont get back as your teeth has been roughened for composite filling....you can go for laminates and veneers as alternative option which looks more natural..

Composite filling can be removed though the previous condition can not be given back as the tooth surface has been roughened and prepared accurately for the filling to get merged with the tooth..Proceed for veneers( composite or ceramic) or laminates for the precise cosmetic treatment in flouridated teeth to hide the stains..

The teeth have to be roughened or cut to accommodate the filling. You may consult your dentist again for the change in color tint and hue. Minor changes which can be changed should be done to your satisfaction. Previous shape and size of teeth may not be reversed

Teeth are prepared/ roughened to accomodate fillings so they cannot go back to what it looked like originally. You can get full coverage composite laminates or porcelain veneers done for a better looking smile.
