What's the difference between dental implants and natural teeth?

There is a great difference between dental implants and natural teeth.

1, dental implants and natural teeth are composed of multiple parts, but all parts of natural teeth are organically combined, and dental implants are usually connected by screws or adhesives.

2. Natural teeth always move forward and toward the occlusal surface, but dental implants lack the driving force to move in these two directions. Therefore, we should go to the hospital regularly for fusion treatment to adapt to the changes in occlusal relationship.

3. The wear rate of dental implants is different from that of natural teeth. Dental implants are more wear-resistant than natural teeth. After a long time, dental implants will be relatively higher than the surrounding natural teeth.
