Cool! He's getting a root canal RX, post and crown. That's
about $2,000 for humans!

When they're all sedated like that they look so sweet and cuddly. Bet he's saying 'fangs' for the memory.

In that last photo, I imagine that is what alien abductees look like when they get back to Earth. Wha??? What just happened??

That kind of explains a horrible state of teeth in Russians - the dentists concentrate on animals apparently.

I think that was a great thing to do. What would be cool would be if they replaced his k-9s with the extra long saber teeth. Then you would have a Siberian Saber Tooth Tiger. lol

LOL raven714!! I thought maybe the measurements the source page reported for that prosthesis were wrong - 10 inches for a fang!
