The answer

Covering teeth after filing them, if for cosmetic purposes, is impermissible because it falls under altering Allah's creation. However, if it is for treatment or to remove a defect and restore the tooth to its natural state, then it is permissible. The general rule is that whatever is for beautification is forbidden, and whatever is for removing a defect is permissible.
