Probably not, actually - I have a similar thing and was told that although the MRI machine won't rip the metal out of your jaw like it would for ferrous metals, the titanium will essentially act like a little antenna and obliterate the image

I have a titanium implant and have had MRIs. It might be a problem if you wanted an MRI of your teeth, but anything else is fine.
