Nail in tire

The other day I ran over a nail which is now embedded in my tire. It has lost no air so will take into tire shop for them to remove and plug any leak. My question is that I will be doing my first DE in a couple of weeks and wondered if that imperfection in the tire will increase the likelihood of tire failure. Normally I wouldn't worry but don't know the effect at sustained high speed. They are Falken Azenis RT-615's. Replace or no big deal??
