One of the best fang smiths - the name for people who specialize in the creation of fangs, both vampire fangs and otherwise - is Dnash, of Teeth by Dnash.
He has over twenty-five styles of fangs which he creates personally for each person. The fangs are not implants, however, but caps, which are custom made for each customer. These fangs can be put in and removed very easily, but are created of high quality material so they will last for a long time. Basically, they are like removable caps for your teeth. He makes them to be removable so you won't damage them when eating (and you won't HAVE to wear them to work or the family reunion, unless you just want to).
Dnash works from a professional dentists cast of your teeth (upper and/or lower casts), so each fang will fit snug in your mouth. He can either make the cast of your mouth in his studio, during one of his Fang Tours, or you can send him made by your own dentist. His fangs aren't cheap, though. They run about $100 per set - plus, if you don't go to his studio or have it done on one of his tours, you have the added expenses of paying your dentist for a full mouth cast.
You can find a dentist who is willing (for a price) to file down your existing teeth and make what you have "vampire fangs". However, this practice is discouraged in the dental community because you can easily damage your teeth beyond repair, even if it is done by a licensed, professional dentist.
Finally, you can purchase several types of fake fangs which you fit into your own mouth using a moldable type of plastic. Those kinds of fangs can be found a party/costume shops (and your local Hot Topic), and are usually pretty cheap. I picked some up off the clearance rack in April that are red - very fun. You can also get other colors, including metallic.
There are several disadvantages to these types of fangs, however. First of all, they are not high quality. The plastic backing for the fangs can be hard to do yourself. Also, it's hard to get them to look "right" or "natural". The color may not be the color of your teeth, or you might not be able to get them straight. Finally, the plastic will only last so long, even if you get it to work right. On the other hand, they are cheap, so if you loose them, you can always get another pair with out shelling out major amounts of money.
I threw in a few different source links for places you might like to shop at, including Dnash's website.
Enjoy!

I would assume that it would be like getting veneers. I saw some slip-on fangs at Hot Topic yesterday that looked quite real. You might want to try those.

I have some stuck in my butt from my ex-wife. Even though they aren't attached to her face anymore, they are still sucking my life's blood away. Would you like them? She wasn't a vampire, but sometimes I truly believe she is the anti-Christ. You could just go all the way and become Satan. Try that and let us all know how that works for you.

I dont know about implants but you can wear protective covers over your canine teeth for a few years. That way, they can grow without wearing out and they will be longer. But its gonna take some time...

You could have your dentist grind your teeth to look like fangs.

What are you going to do when you have them? Start looking for prey?
