Permanent implanting of artificial teeth

Question

Praise be to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with implanting an artificial tooth
with a ceramic crown in place of a broken tooth, whether the implant is
permanent or temporary.

There is also nothing wrong with leaving it in place after a
person dies; there are no shar’i reservations about burying a person with an
artificial tooth.

The artificial tooth does not have to be removed during
wudoo’ or ghusl, as some people think, because it is sufficient to rinse out
the mouth.

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas
were asked: Is removing the teeth and replacing them with new teeth regarded
as changing the creation of Allaah?

They replied:

There is nothing wrong with treating damaged or faulty teeth
with something which will remove the harm they cause, or extracting them and
replacing them with false teeth, if there is a need for that, because this
comes under the heading of permissible treatment to remove something
harmful; it does not come under the heading of changing the creation of
Allaah as the questioner understands it, because what is meant by the fitrah
in the verse “Allaah’s Fitrah (i.e. Allaah’s
Islamic Monotheism) with which He has created mankind. No change let there
be in Khalq‑illaah (i.e. the religion of Allaah __
Islamic Monotheism)” [al-Room 30:30] is the
religion of Islam. End quote.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah
(25/15).

It also says (25/57):

There is nothing wrong with having your teeth treated by a
dentist who specializes in dealing with deformities and changing faults by
adding artificial teeth, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Yes, O slaves of Allaah, seek medical treatment,
for Allaah has not created any disease but He has also created it cures – or
its medicine – except one disease.” They said: O Messenger of Allaah, what
is it? He said: “Old age.” Abu ‘Eesa (al-Tirmidhi) said: Similar reports
were narrated from Ibn Mas’ood, Abu Hurayrah, Abu Khuzaamah from his father,
and Ibn ‘Abbaas. This is a hasan saheeh hadeeth.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was
asked: Is it permissible to use false teeth in the mouth when the natural
teeth fall out and there is a need for that?

He replied: It is permissible, if a person’s teeth fall out,
to replace them with false teeth, because that is removing a fault. The
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave permission
to one of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with him) whose nose had been
cut off to use a nose made of silver, but it began to smell bad, so he gave
him permission to use a nose made of gold, so he used a nose made of gold.
Similarly, if the teeth fall out, then one may use false teeth instead, and
there is nothing wrong with that. End quote from Fataawa Noor ‘ala
al-Darb.

To sum up, there is nothing wrong with your mother having an
artificial tooth permanently implanted.

And Allaah knows best.
