Fangs, done with bonding
Fang bonding is an elective look. Dr. Khan adds tooth-colored composite to the upper canines to create a pointed shape. The composite can later be adjusted or taken off, but placement may involve minor enamel prep, so it is not a fully reversible procedure.
Composite typically lasts about 2 years before it needs polishing or repair. The fangs can chip, wear, or pick up stain, and they can often be repaired in the chair.
The bite has to allow it
Added length on the canines has to fit the way the teeth meet. If the fangs would interfere with the bite, we change the shape or explain that this is not a good idea for that mouth. That decision happens at a consult, not from a photo.
