I've had several texture changes in my nails from past trauma, one a finger being slammed in a car door, the other a toenail being ripped off by getting wedged under a door when I was little. The toe nail has this groove in it where it still likes to split even 20+ years later so I know permanent damage happens. Of course, werewolves don't scar either, so it might not leave lasting damage for them either...

Teeth, I'm not so sure about. I doubt those would grow back. I kind of look at the situation as, if it's something a human can regrow/reattach, a werewolf can too, just super fast with no scarring. And humans don't just regrow teeth. Peter wanted his finger kept on ice, and reattached it after Braedan rescued them.

Amendment: I just remembered something. I had a friend who told me once that he was told by a dentist, that if you ever lose a tooth (like from being punched) if you put it in a glass of milk and get to an emergency dental clinic ASAP, they can reattach them. This is only second hand knowledge so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but if it's true, I'm sure something similar is possible with werewolves. But I think the root still needs to be in your mouth... I think they could grow it back(their finger & nail) with out any problem. As the human body is pretty good at adapting, werewolves body's don't seem to be really any different. Seeing as Deucalion eyes were completely healed, even though the nerve function wasn't completely restored for his human side, his body adapted to his werewolf vision allowing him to see. when peter asked the hunter if he could put it on ice. I think he was simple just trying to crack a joke & make light of a dangerous situation like stiles does.

Then again we could also say that peter probably thought it would be better if he just attached it back instead of having to wait years or months or days for it to grow back.
