Question:
This questioner says that he was in an accident while traveling and his front teeth were broken. He had dental implants put in, but they are not as they were before. If he intentionally made the teeth in a single row, what is the ruling on cosmetic procedures after an accident?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with dental implants, and it may be done in whatever way achieves the intended result, because this is a form of treatment. There is nothing wrong with treating wounds and fractures or removing the disfigurement that occurs in a person due to an accident. There is nothing wrong with that, because this is seeking medical treatment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani) And he said: Mishkat al-Masabih 4514 Yes.

so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful.
تداووا ولا تداووا بحرام،God has not sent down a disease without sending down remedy for it.
صلى الله عليه وسلم ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له دواء، علمه من علمه، وجهله من جهله.
