AL-KAFI # 720 : HUKUM MENANAM GIGI (IMPLANT)
What is the ruling on dental implants?
Short answer
The ruling depends on the purpose of the implant. If done for treatment, it is permissible because it makes eating and speaking easier and removes hardship.

Summary
The ruling depends on the purpose of the implant. If done for treatment, it is permissible because it makes eating and speaking easier and removes hardship. If done purely for beauty, such as replacing existing teeth with better-looking ones, it is not allowed and is best avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika ianya dilakukan hanya kerana untuk tujuan kecantikan maka ianya tidak dibolehkan.
