fang-like teeth

Sharp, elongated canines

Fang-like teeth are teeth that resemble fangs—long, pointed, and potentially menacing.

The phrase typically describes canine teeth or incisors that appear unusually prominent, sharp, or predatory.

The vampire bared its fang-like teeth.

In zoology, the term might characterize teeth in species that don't technically have true fangs but possess similar dental structures adapted for gripping or piercing prey.
