The titanium in dental implants will show up as a "bright spot' on a CT scan, and you can get a PET scan, but it could interfere with the interpretation.

Yes you can get an MRI done. We just had this same question in our office by one of our patients. I am not sure about a petscan or catscan sorry.

A Prosthodontist can do all of it and many have labs on the premesis which could do the crown for the implant too. With an oral physician you will then ought to circulate to a dentist or expert who can create the crown.
