Thank you for you question.
It all depends if the implant was placed at the time of the extraction, several months after the extraction or years after the extraction. Ceramic implants are much more biological and gum loves them compared to titanium implants. It also depends on the comorbidity and the strength of the immune system. Type of the surgery and the grafting procedures are also important.
