Which implant method is better, the "tap in" or the "screw in"? Are the different way to install abutment for each method?

BSJ
My implant doctor did three "tap in" implants for me in the past 8 years.  I felt very happy for each result.  I need another implant done last month.  My general dentist wrote a latter to instruct my implant doctor to switch from "tap in" to "screw in" without discussing with me.  Now he insists to do the abutment for me later, he thinks he can do better abutment for "screw in" implant.  He thinks my implant doctor can not.  I'm confused.  Please advise.  Thanks.
