Ceramic teeth are usually used because they are more like natural teeth than the plastic teeth unless they were incorporated with fillers to wear slowly. These are not used with implants due to cost. Those people who want a rigid denture often use 2, 3 or 4 implants which will have metal "keepers" to hold the bones in the upper and lower arches. This makes the prosthesis rigid, almost strong enough to hold the shape of the denture. Implants which have been become bound to the bone hold the metal substructure to be really strong and longer lasting for more years than a plastic denture will last.
