No,Dental implants aren't considered better than the natural teeth. In general, in dental field, the worst   condition of a natural tooth is considered better than the best dental implant so a natural tooth is always the best. Otherwise dental implants could be the best treatment of choice to treat a missing tooth,but this choice is highly depends on the case itself weither is it suitble to make an implant or not. Before you go on making an implant, a particular assessment is made to determine the prognosis of the implant, These include your medical history,x-rays and clinical assessment. As a conclusion,natural tooth is always the best but dental implant is the best choice when the natural tooth is extracted

In some cases dental implants are much better.  One example, if some teeth are missing and the remaining teeth are periodontally unhealthy, it may be better to remove them and place implants.  Despite the lack of periodontal ligament, implants can support an entire arch and last a very long time.

I believe this question could not be asked. Implants and dental teeth, they both have the same function. When dental teeth are missing, the implants could replace them and play the same role. But the differnce is that : Implants are not vital.

They both need care. Oral hygiene should be well maintained in order to prevent the loss of the teeth or the implants.

natural teeth is the best but if it is badly decayed and it cant be restored and treated endodontically it must be extracted and therefore dental implant is preferable 

Implants are strong and stable, and restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth. However implants are a solution of great need when we can’t do nothing to ‘’save’’ natural tooth. Some times patients with implants complain that they don’t feel the same when they chew with the implant and they don’t enjoy their meals.

Always natural things are incomparable than the artificial things.

When it comes to implants one important aspect which definitely gives edge to natural teeth apart from its blood & nerve supply is the importance of Periodontal Ligament which an implant lacks & thats why many advocates to keep implant under occlusion.

always natural is natural and artificial is artificial 

implant through replaces missing tooth but it cant restores propioception, periodontal ligament action like cushion affect thats why the occlusion is of short of occlusion when compared to natural teeth.

Natural teeth better than implant. Except if natural tooth completly decades and can't repair so better to replace it with implant
