It will depend on how they eat and whether they are primarily hunters or scavengers.
Carnivores will generally have larger canines and fewer molars and premolars. Their premolars and molars will generally be used for crushing bones or tearing meat - not for grinding like in a herbivore. Therefore they may have a different structure. They will also still have incisors at the front - for grabbing on to the meat.
The teeth that tear food are called incisors and canines. They are located at the front of the mouth and are used to grip and tear food into smaller pieces for chewing and swallowing.
