That's fair. It looks like your process really pays off, though! Would you have difficulties with other air-dry clays, are they prone to shrinkage or do they stick less effectively?
Aah I see. Teeth are shockingly difficult to get right! That's actually,, my day job? I make dental restorations.

Yes, and yes on both questions. I tried a couple different brands and nothing works as well Apoxy-Sculpt. It's a two part epoxy that was specifically designed for the taxidermy trade to probably restore broken horn, or to press into ears if they didn't have liners. It doesn't break all that easy once cured I found too. If it does break it's usually a clean break and easy to glue back together.
Deer have 8 front teeth and only on the bottom jaws. The middle two are about as large as our front lower teeth, but the others are like silvers (and progressively get smaller from the middle ones) and they narrow to the outside and sort of have a slight curve. Really hard to explain, little alone sculpt.

I just looked up some skulls, and I see the problem. It's a delicate little space, and I can see how those would be lost easily. All of the final shaping on porcelain&zirconia restorations is done with little dremel tools, and it's kind of wild to get into the flow of what makes a tooth look natural.
