Generally, no-- if by "silver" you mean jewelry or piercings. These must be removed before you have the MRI. The concern is that certain items might come loose or distort the images, and thus distort the test results. But if you are asking about dental fillings, even if they contain silver, these are not "loose," so they would be okay. According to the American Radiological Society, the following items would potentially be a problem, and thus should not be worn to an MRI:
- jewelry, watches, credit cards and hearing aids, all of which can be damaged.
- pins, hairpins, metal zippers and similar metallic items, which can distort MRI images.
- removable dental work.
- pens, pocket knives and eyeglasses.
- body piercings.
