Why Dracula Fangs Are Trending – And Perhaps Why They Shouldn’t

Due to the popularity of vampire shows and movies in recent years, more people are becoming interested in getting permanent Dracula fangs. There are also temporary types that can be worn and removed, costing only a few dollars.

If you wish to get a set of Dracula fangs, consider carefully if you should aim for temporary or permanent ones. Know the advantages and drawbacks before heading to your dentist.

The Pros

These look good. Getting Dracula fangs can actually augment your appearance and give you a beautiful smile. Your canines are the teeth that will be elongated and contoured to look longer and sharper than the rest. Getting a new set of fangs may actually require you to wear braces first as well as whiten all your teeth through advanced dental procedures. Depending on your style, vampire teeth can actually improve your aesthetics.

The process is painless. Compared to undergoing other types of dental procedure, PKDentistry reported that having Dracula fangs is actually a painless technique. Aside from improving your cosmetics, tooth recontouring is an affordable and painless way to improve your smile. No anesthesia is necessary because the process will only require the removal of surface enamel.

Improving oral health. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and oral cavity thoroughly before giving you a set of vampire fangs. Tooth recontouring and other dental procedures that may be used will also take care of other teeth and mouth issues such as tartar and bacteria removal and straightening other teeth that might compromise your Dracula fangs. You will prevent tooth decay and gum disease by visiting the dentist.

The Cons

Not everyone will like these. Although you can opt for shorter fangs to make these look more natural, other people might frown about the whole idea, based on a report by Vampires.com. It is best to consult your family and friends first and have a sketch prepared so you can check the appearance before undergoing the procedure.

Some places are expensive. Compared to temporary vampire fangs that only cost a few dollars, undergoing advanced dental procedures to improve your canines might cost anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on the number of procedures. Some dentists might require you to undergo procedures for surrounding teeth as well, costing your more money. Remember, dracula fangs are generally permanent so you should consider your options and dentist very carefully.
