The post of my crown is very dark, is there anyway to make the crown itself more opaque?

Q.

Hi, 4 years ago, i had a metal fused to porcelain crown done, and recently i went to a cosmetic dentist to get a all ceramic crown done, i only then realised i had a metal post and now it shines through my all ceramic crown.my dentist did suggest that it is very difficult to remove a healthy post and mine is very healthy it could fracture resulting an implant and i cant take the high risk. Would it be possible to still have a ceramic crown but have it bit more opaque in the middle to hide the metal post? My teeth are shade A1 and my dentist said i would have to go for a much yellow crown to hide the post but can he not make it a bit more opaque in the middle to eliminate the greyish colour metal post?
Many thanks!
