Just had stage 1 of my crown done, so my tooth has been filed down. Totally forgot I am due a MRI later this year on my head and neck. Given I am having an NHS crown I am presuming it is part metal. This is for a front tooth. Do I have to worry it will distort the images ?

Thanks.
 
It could distort the images, but I'm sure the technician(s) would know how to make sure to have the best image if it's the case.
