Dental veneers have also become a typical solution for many people who wish to have better-looking smiles. However, for many Muslims, the question arises: are veneers haram? Allow Rama Care to assist you in presenting the topic as viewed from an Islamic perspective covering the topic of what dental veneers are, the perception Islamic regulations have on cosmetic procedures, and reasons why veneers are acceptable.
Dental veneers are thin layers, that is, using an impression of the tooth surface in which the shell is created from composite resin or porcelain. They are applied to strengthen the aesthetics of the teeth where common problems include stains, cracks, spaces, and alignment. To apply veneers, the dentist usually has to shave off a thin layer of the tooth’s enamel so that, the veneer will stick well to the tooth’s surface. Also, veneers help to have a great look to improve self-esteem and self-confidence in many people.
It is significant for Muslims to notice how the topic of changing one’s look is addressed in Islam and reference to it. The first consideration must, therefore, be whether the alteration that the procedure implies is as superfluous as it may seem in interfering with the creation of Allah or whether it responds to a real need.
Cosmetic surgery is allied and permissible it serves noted needs, helps in enhanced functionality, or is intended for deformity remedy.Consequently, purely beautification that is carried out for the sake of vanity may be considered haram especially if it corresponds to unnecessary modification.
There are several arguments for why veneers might be considered permissible in Islam:
There are some cases where veneers are applied to address harsh dental problems affecting the potential to eat, speak, or even brush; this makes veneers considered as medical necessity. In the same regard, psychological effects may be caused by the appearance of the teeth, and therefore, veneers will help in eliminating such problems, and this is a good aspect.
A few Islamic scholars claimed that veneers are restorations rather than alterations to the teeth. Given the changes in the functional and esthetic aspects of teeth, veneers can be regarded as doing more of the glorification of what Allah had created as compared to its transformation.
The context in which veneers are intended to be gotten highly determines the result to be expected. It is perhaps acceptable if the goal is to enhance dental health or if there is a major problem with the appearance of teeth, and not to be aesthetically beautiful for beauty’s sake. Moreover, the Islamic religion highly advises moderation in all activities, including cosmetic procedures.
