If you are referring to implants, you still have to brush them daily

  Do you really have to do it daily with them? I have two zirconium-based implanted teeth and they're always smooth. Zero biological film or gunk on them, and I had some periods this year during which I didn't brush teeth for 4-5 days. All other teeth were nasty but the zirconium implants looked and felt pristine. (Sadly still prone to food bits getting stuck in-between though, but oral shower and interdental brushes take care of that.) Though I agree that even if you replace all your teeth you still have to brush somewhat because the gums need the cleanup as well and you can't replace those. Though I'd think I can get away with a much shorter procedure than what I do for several years now (powerful oral shower, interdental brushes, brushing teeth and gums, and Listerine).

    If I remember correctly, it's mostly inter-dental brushing/flushing to avoid gum related problems or food getting stuck (infections)

      That's what I thought, thanks. Interdental brushing is the one and only unavoidable cleaning procedure even if all your teeth are artificial, it seems. Gums and inter-teeth space are still prone to pollution that can easily grow to infections and ultimately nasty stuff like periodontitis (I got operated to be cured of it several years ago).
