I found an old post that said it was ok as long as the implant was made of titanium?

If anyone has a different opinion, I'd love to hear it.

Thank you.

Yes you can. It's no different than me having Stents in my Heart. The Hospital where I go has a machine that is "Stent" safe and also denture, partial and implant safe! Most, if not all modern medical facility are so equipped. Look on the Clear Choice Dental Implant web site...I believe you'll find factual info there that details material make up etc. of modern implants.

Take Care!

Left-Translab July '09. Cyberknife Jan 2010. In Apr 2017, four more tumors found; three in the brain and one, 7cm long, on my spinal cord; it was surgically removed. It was cancerous, and so are the others. I've been receiving Chemo since June '18, and I'm still in treatment.

I'd imagine that if it's titanium it wouldn't be a problem.

All my "hardware" from my AN surgery (mesh, screws, plate) are titanium and so is my BAHA abutment and MRIs aren't a problem.

Neither are the metal detectors @ the airport  ;D

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
