New #1 In My Collection

Recommended Posts

Back in April my good friend and hunting buddy, Sharkdentist, gave me a tooth. Nothing new about that except this tooth was special. A 5 1/2" bone white pathological Meg. I only have a handfull of restored teeth, but this one had to be done. I sent it to Kelly Kennedy to work his magic. A little root work and enamel repair and it turned out perfect. About 25% of the tooth is new.

The brown tooth has sentimental value because it was the first Meg I found. I was lying on the bottom of the creek begging to be picked up. After years of looking I couldn't believe it was that easy. All it needed was a little root repair and polishing. It measures 5 1/4".

Thanks again Sharkdentist for the great gift and Kelly for your good work. www.kennedyrestorations.com

What an odd pathology!

DANG J that tooth came out really nice! I remember seeing this thing in person, as I recall it was when SD gave it to you. I was drooling then and I am drooling now!

I need to get Kelly to work on a really nice meg I found at the golf course that is missing the root ends, otherwise it is a nice tooth.

Can you send my an email with Kelly's contact info?

Will be seeing you next month.

sharkdentist..... Unreal!....... what a superb job he has done of that tooth..... I have a 6 1/2" Chile in matrix that had the tip repaired out in Chile and some enamel in the centre stuck down.... If I could trust the postal service from the UK to there and back or thought I could even replace the fossil if it went missing, I would send it him for sure to reprep....He's done a fabulous job... A++++.... Thanks....
