This is not a straight forward answer as there are pros and cons to using both and it dependant on each patients situation. Titanium is gold standard and preferred by most dentist because of its strength, longevity and compatibility with the body. In some rare cases where people have a titanium or metal allergy, we may consider using ceramic. Ceramic has a higher fracture risk and is more expensive.
Ceramic implant parts are often used in certain cosmetic instances. They are not better than titanium. Titanium is almost impossible to break.
May or may not make a difference
