Large orders are frequently scheduled a year in advance. Please contact the lab to reserve your place in our production schedule.
Section Type
We offer two types of slide preparations.
- Our standard microscope slide preparation has 2 tooth sections for 3 separate teeth mounted on a single slide (top). This kind of slide is suitable for most client purposes.
- Research sections (bottom) are for teeth that are either very small or of such unusual value to warrant the additional processing expense. Research slide preparations have 6-8 sections of the same tooth for maximum cementum exposure.

- Only positive reconstructions will be billed
- Gender must be known for accurate age analysis
Age Data Services
We offer three types of age data services.
- Age Data Summary: Age distribution per species is tabulated and graphed - billed per species, not per submission
