I have no firm idea or information about any weird modern trends, but the best dental fillings used to be either a silver or gold amalgam (an amalgam is a precious metal dissolved in liquid mercury). To fix a tooth, you'd have the amalgam poured over in a mould, and you'd have a gold or silver filling when the mercury evaporated. It's a very common dental procedure dating back over a hundred of years. Gold fillings were more desirable since gold doesn't tarnish as easily as silver does.
Modern dentistry brought about porcelain fillings, which are "supposed" to look just like normal teeth.

That said, there was a more modern trend of people covering their teeth with caps or grills. Originally these just went on top, but apparently lately there has apparently been a trend of surgically altering one's teeth for closer fitting caps. (Oh boy, where have I heard this sort of unnecessary cosmetic surgical treatment before...)
