Is it possible to change the post that are in the gums?

Q. Dear Dr. Moore, I have four crowns (in the front in the top rig)that are now showing a black line and so need replacing with Porcelain ones, but also my gum is quite dark and not pink. Is it possible to change the posts that are in the gum, or is it possible to lighten the gum in any way? Thank you for your help! Regards

A. Hello the gum can’t really be changed but the posts might be taken out and replaced with White posts and porcelain crowns
