We're constrained by the subset of physics that can be implemented by proteins. Plus, the genetic code can't be too big, or it won't fit, but I doubt we'll ever hit that limit (provided we don't go the software route and build a giant tower of massive abstractions that gets copied everywhere).

Proteins and things built by proteins. Teeth aren't very protein-y.

  Why can’t we hardwire genes to continue growing teeth?

    Because we have specialized diverse teeth. Of course it's possible but that would be novel genetic programming which we just can't do.
