> You just have to get it resharpened and possibly get some new teeth brazed on.
This looks quite destructive to the teeth that contact the stop:

I can't imagine it will ever be cost-effective the labor of repairing a blade after that instead of just getting a new one.
When I ran a woodshop we would get our blades resharpened for about $30 and new teeth were a few dollars each. Its absolutely worth it when your blades are $100+
I wouldn't re-use a blade that SawStop triggered on. I assume the blade itself will go out of true based on the forces. It's a lot more damage than a few teeth.
Professional sharpeners have tools for testing blade conditions. We had a guy who would drop by the shop once every couple months and pickup all our used blades to service.
This is really standard fare with professional carpentry. I don't understand why so many people here are in shock at the concept of blade servicing.
