alright, ill give a normal response if you want one so desperatly:


its not possible.
look up how much effort is involved to get a normal tooth implant.

they'd have to drill a socket and screw in a titanium bit.

now imagine how that would work with a shark tooth.
first of all a single tooth would be retarded, you'd have to replace at least a major fraction of your teeth.

second of all shark teeth are formed completely differently than human teeth.

look at how a normal human tooth looks like, see how fucking huge its roots are?
now i don't see that in your attached picture.

lets assume you'd get titan socket implants (just like you'd get normal implants but without the human tooth crown set ontop of it) and some dentist would want to put a shark tooth on top of it, how would that work?

also shark teeth normally fall out pretty quickly as those animals can regenerate (regrow) their teeth extremely quickly (and with no limit) so I doubt they would be stable (chemically as well as against normal mechanical abrasion) enough to be used in a human mouth (where a shit ton of stuff happens with acids and bacteria)....


they COULD make a custom tooth out of zirconium dioxide, which is the standard material nowadays.

but even the "normal" human looking implants are really fucking expensive (at least $1k per tooth if you actually want them done well).

now imagine how much it would cost to make a custom design that looks like a shark tooth.
now... tell me what you think about those points.
