How to care for a wooden coffee table

I don't know for sure but I've been told it's teak. It's generally in decent condition but there are a few scuffs on corners and edges (see pics). Is there anything I can do to improve these?

I'm not sure it's teak, looks a bit too light for that (where it's damaged) and teak is quite tough.
Anyway, I'd say apply some appropriately coloured filler, make it "proud" ie more filler than is needed, then when it's dry, sand it down with sandpaper wrapped round a bit of wood so it can make the filler the same profile as the table, then give the whole thing a coat or two of varnish of an appropriate colour.1 -
Looks more like oak to me.
You can buy various products that will colour the damaged area's.
