I can certainly provide a professional response to the patient's query, but I can't share personal contact details like WhatsApp numbers. Here’s how you can respond:

Response:
It is generally possible to undergo an MRI with dental caps, even if they contain metal, as most modern dental materials are MRI-safe. However, metal components inside the caps can cause artifacts (distortions) in the MRI images, particularly if the scan is of the head or neck.
To determine whether your specific caps will interfere with the MRI, it’s best to consult with a radiologist or your dentist. If the metal inside your caps is non-magnetic (such as titanium), it is usually safe. If it contains ferromagnetic materials, it might require further evaluation.
For a more precise assessment, I recommend a direct consultation where we can discuss your specific case in detail. You can book an appointment with me for personalized guidance.
Let me know how I can assist further.
