^ Sharks replace a few of many, a vampire would replace one or both of two. The new ones wouldn't necessarily be ready to be used, when an older fang breaks or falls off. Losing one or both could hamper feeding and thus be an evolutionary disadvantage. So I don't think they'd have the shark method.
Moreover, this once again begs the question: are the fangs used to puncture a wound, from which the vampire sucks or licks the blood or are they hollow straws like with mosquittoes.
