Just earlier today I was googling whether even tooth implants are actually better than the natural alternative.

I didn't find a definitive answer.

I wonder that as well, I have a false front incisor and haven't noticed any difference in durability, but as far as sensation goes it's practically identical, if a bit less sensitive to cold. Then again, the part that actually gets replaced doesn't exactly have nerve endings, I still have those underneath it.

Yeah when I googled it it was lots of opinions and this is from looking at 20 years of wear on them.

So they're at least somewhat equal, I would say. Some might argue better. Some would not.

But definitely did make me feel alright about the prospect of having to replace a tooth or several.
