Answers:
What it comes down to is 2 different solutions.
The first involves measures to improve the colour or the teeth that you have at the moment. To do this you need to have your teeth professionally whitened or previously called bleached. The reason behind professional whitening is that the supermarket stuff is not strong enough to provide a long lasting result. Yes they will make your teeth appear whiter for about 30 minutes or a few days, but the best long lasting whitening from the dentist should last a few months.
The second involves using fillings to artificially improve colour of your teeth. You can name your colour of choice, and your dentist can probably make your smile that colour. This is what is commonly done on shows like Extreme Makeover do. There are different types of coverings over your teeth that can be used. They are called veneers, crowns or resins depending upon the shape the dentist needs to create on your teeth. Plastic/resin coverings last about 5-10 years. Porcelain coverings about 10-20. Many models and stars have their whole set of teeth (that's 28 or more!) covered. However most everyday people are happy with having their top front 6-10 covered.
The whitening option is generally better for your teeth in the long term, but people can get a much longer and dramatic change with resin/veneers/crowns. There are always factors to consider including your age, and previous dental history that will influence what a dentist feels the best option is for you.
