The latest fad Twilight can claim credit for inspiring…‘Vampire Veneers’.
Dentists across the US maintain that they are experiencing ‘a surge in young patients who want temporary vampire-style fangs installed’. How?

As it turns out, these vamp veneers represent one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry this summer.
For an investment of around $200 and 15 minutes you too can fool the world into believing you’re a Cullen. But not without risk it would seem. Some dentists believe these ‘fangs’ can harm a patient’s bite and can cause discomfort. So before you schedule your appointment please consider.
