Removal of fangs is uncommon, as snakes frequently regenerate teeth, and the more invasive procedure of removing the underlying maxillary bone would be fatal. Most venomoid procedures consist of either removing the venom gland itself, or severing the duct between the gland and the fang.
They still do it, sadly. I don't think many care if a snake dies, they just get a new one. At least that's what they used to do 15 years ago. If this has changed in the meantime, good for them!
