Yes, you can have an MRI with metal-core ceramic crowns, but they may cause image distortion. The impact depends on the type of metal used in the crowns. Inform your radiologist beforehand so they can adjust settings if needed.

PFM crowns can sometimes create artefacts in MRI images , they generally need not be removed. However informing the radiologist is crucial.
