Removing The Teeth And Replacing Them With New Teeth?

Q: Is removing the teeth and replacing them with new teeth regarded as changing the creation of Allaah? 

A: 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]
