I have four fractured teeth and I had 3 root canal and have to get caps on them. But I think silver is ugly. Are there any other options

A crown made of a dental alloy (part gold) with a porcelain enamel surface is often used for teeth that can be seen. It will be specially made to match the color of your own teeth.

Ceramic, they blend in with the color of your own teeth.

silver caps are not the only solution.you can have crowns(trim down the teeth to stubs and attach the crowns onto whats left) or veneers(very fine and thin pieces placed onto exiting tooth without much shaving/trimming of teeth) made of ceramic,composite resin, white Porcelain or resin.Nowadays the combinations are endless,Ceramic with resin,porcelain with resin etc.For further detailed information you can contact a cosmetic dentist.btw all of these can be made to match your teeth,bleaching of teeth can also be performed in order for the teeth to match.
