Is there any way...?!
Question: my dental insurance would cover a tooth whitening procedure? I know that it's considered cosmetic. But is it possible for me to pay a co-payment instead of the whole payment? Oh and which are better: resin fillings or amalgam fillings? why?

I don't think you're going to find a way to make your insurance company pay for whitening for the reason you described.
Resin=white and looks like tooth. sticks to tooth, doesn't work as well if moisture contamination, takes slightly longer.
amalgam= silver doesn't look like tooth, needs to be wedged in tooth to stay there. in short: stronger and ugly, plus controversial, usually cheaper.
If i was getting fillings i'd want white for looks.
