Are MRI Scans Advised Against for Those Who Have Titanium Dental Implants?

The biggest concern with having an MRI for people with any type of "metal" implant would be that the implant would become displaced during the procedure or that it would heat up. MRI's use magnetic forces during the scan that can cause these things to happen.  Most dental implants are made of titanium and not considered "magnetic" so theoretically it should not be a problem.  It would be wise however, to consult with the physician who ordered the MRI as well as the technician performing the MRI and make them aware of any implants or metal prostheses you may have in your mouth. 
 

Titanium is not ferromagnetic so should not be an issue with MRI but prudent to advise your radiologist or technician. 

As many had already said...implants are made up of titanium. Titanium are not magnetic. That's why implants are made up titanium so patient don't have to worry about MRI, CTs, or the airport security gates to set off alarms.

Hello. It is a vdery good question.I am not aware of any contraindications for MRI patients , who have dental implants.

In order for a material to interact with a magnetic field, the material needs to have a property known as ferromagnetism. Titanium is not ferromagnetic, so it should not interact with magnetic fields. The only thing is that a doctor prescribing an MRI should be aware that dental implants can create artifacts on MRI scans, making it more difficult to read. 

This is a great and common question for patients who are told they need MRI's. The answer is: GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE MRI. There is NOTHING to worry about. The dental implants are not magnetic. YES. You can have the MRI with dental implants. 

Dental implants are made of titanium which is not magnetic. You should have no problem getting an MRI done with dental implants in place.

There should be no contraindication having an MRI done with dental implants.  Typically implants are made from titanium which is not magnetic.

No worries with MRI's of patients with dental implants. The contain no iron or ferrous metals and are non-magnetic. You won't be thrown across the room, teeth first!

I am not aware of any contraindications to MRIs and dental implants.  I have numerous patients with dental implants who have had a number of MRIs with no issues.
