What's different between Dimmable and non-dimmable LED bulbs

I've noticed that the stores sell both regular (non-dimmable) and
Dimmable LED bulbs. The dimmable ones are more expensive. What is
different inside of them?
I dont use dimmers, or I'd try this.
What happens if a regular bulb is connected to a dimmer?
I'd assume a dimmable bulb will work fine on a circuit without a dimmer,
or is there a reason to NOT use them if no dimmer exists? (other than
the extra cost).
My wife hates the CFL bulbs, they give her headaches so while they were
still available we got two cases of 24 60W incandescent, rated for 130V,
not one has failed and it has been over a year. Sure they are a bit
less bright than a regular 60W/120V bulb, but it keeps her happy,
haven't tried the LED ones yet, they still seem rather expensive last I
looked.
