mattbsharks Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi everyone, I recently acquired this big megalodon tooth and I was wondering if it is possible to restore a tooth with this much damage? I was also wondering if people had any recommendations on where I could possibly send it to get it restored at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Good luck on your quest, wether you choose to do it yourself, or someone else. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woopaul5 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've had a tooth repaired by Marty Swilp. Very happy with the outcome and work was completed writhin a few days. Google his name and you'll find his eBay store and site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitbat Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Unless that tooth is huge or has sentimental value, I find myself wondering if it might not be cheaper to buy one in better condition rather than to restore that one. Repairing it is going to take a lot of time and effort to do it right...and that's not cheap! -Joe 2 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I'm with Joe, generally restored teeth would not have the value of a perfect one and unless it had personal worth would not be worth the cost to restore: ) meg teeth just aren't that uncommon unless particularly large Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

mrieder79 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Agree with the prior two posters. Unless this meg is 6.5" or bigger, I'd just buy a different one. 50% of it is gone. It's basically gonna be half-sculpture. I am certain you can get something that looks better and is 100% real for the price of fixing this one up. Look around and see what's available before you spend money on a costly resto. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
