Do military dogs get titanium teeth? Here’s What to Do Next

How much do canine implants cost?

As we mentioned before, the dental implant or the “tooth root” of this procedure, can be anywhere between $1,000 to $3,000. But the dental implant is only one piece of the cake. Other costs that should be factored in are the abutment which is usually about $300 to $500, and the crown which is usually $1,000 to $2,000.

While extremely rare, allergies to titanium in dental implants have been described. While most implants are 89-99% titanium, varying amounts of other metals are still present. The exact composition of Titanium alloys varies depending on the specific implant and manufacturer.

These elite Navy SEAL canines, like the one who helped bring down the worlds most wanted terrorist, are also intensively trained with high-tech tools, according to “The Daily”, to make them even more of a threat to the enemy, from special “doggles” for eye protection to specialized oxygen masks for making high-altitude dives to remote infrared cameras allowing the war dogs handlers to see what theyre seeing in real time, accessing areas off-limits to*human SEALs.

Along with that head-mounted infrared camera, these fearless fidos are equipped with special ear buds that allow their handler to radio remote orders, adjustable waterproof body armor impervious to bullets and knife attacks, and when they lose or chip teeth, the military often replaces them –for medical reasons — with titanium fangs. These terrifying super-strength teeth can run up to $2,000 a piece, and according to “The Daily”, the bite is like “being stabbed four times at once with a bone crusher.”

“When they get a bit old, they usually, because they have such a bond with their handler, they usually become their personal pet,” Barker said.

Like their human Navy SEAL counterparts, members of this elite canine corps remain shrouded in secrecy. While we may never know the name or breed of the courageous canine of SEAL team six that helped kill Osama bin Laden, we do know this warrior dogs training and tools put it in a class all its own…

“These guys can crawl into small spaces that a human cant,” Halo Corporation President Brad Barker said.

What dog do Navy Seals use?

Today, Mals are incredibly important members of the U.S. military. Most of the dogs that work with the elite Navy SEALS are Mals, including Cairo, the brave canine that helped SEAL Team 6 take down Osama bin Laden in 2011.

The truth is that military dogs can receive a titanium tooth but only if an existing tooth becomes damaged. It’s the same as a human receiving a crown. A dog’s actual tooth is already stable, strong, and effective enough on their own that there is no reason to replace them unless for medical reasons.
