I tried to test this but I didn't manage it, since the teeth attack is so weak. Especially the very low chance factor means the the teeth attack is never used as soon as the venom fangs are installed. So as far as I can tell, it doesn't matter in practice. I'm however convinced by looking at the xml that it is indeed an implant and does not replace the teeth attack. This is because the parent of InstallVenomFangs is SurgeryInstallImplantBase and not SurgeryInstallBodyPartArtificialBase.

Reply to "New attack vs. replacement"
The venom fangs are definitely an implant, I've got a mod that lets me see all body parts and the jaw is not replaced. As for the attack still being possible, I'm not too sure, I tried dissolving a pawns arms and then setting them to repeatedly attack other pawns, out of ~50 attacks not a single one used human teeth
I'm gonna try the same thing but with a social fight, pawns don't use their best attacks in social fights
Yep, I've got proof, venom fang pawns are still capable of doing a normal bite attack
I got one pawn to bite another in a social fight
