Yes, except the DF doesn’t compute shadows for all the teeth. Or texture map them, or use a shader to make them look wet and shiny.
Still, if they get knocked out during a fight then your dwarves have to carry them individually to the gravesite afterwards, so it’s not like you should automatically imitate DF when you write your own game.
Will the dwarf's friends and family get upset if any tooth is left unburied? In an evil biome, will a forgotten tooth resurrect and cause trouble?
