Are there any ‘clear’ alternatives to silver caps?

Q. My 5 year old is scheduled to get 2 silver caps put on back molars next month. Are there any options for white/clear coverings instead of the silver so she doesn’t get teased?,
A. Not to my knowledge- the silver caps are placed as they are easily shaped and fitted – as you can imagine a 5 year old child can be difficult to treat and the quickest possible treatment is necessary

Hello,
I was ust looking for a second opinion about my 4 yr old daughters teeth. I took her to the dentist today, and she had her first set of xrays, The dentist told me they see dark spots along her gum line on 2 differnt teeth and the only way to treat that is with silver caps. I was just wondering if thats true or is there something else I can do instead.
