My question was in regards to working as a cosmetic dentist. In the UK the majority of jobs as a dentist require you to do some form of cosmetic work like veneers, Invisalign, teeth whitening, composite bonding. If these procedures are done just for beautification is it halal? Veneers require mild shaving of the front tooth by a few mm to add a cover for teeth, would this classify as filing teeth? Please let me know of any dental treatments which you believe are haram. Additionally, what do scholars mean by beautification, does correcting minor misalignment in your teeth and whitening teeth fall under the category? Please answer as I am confused as to whether I should pursue a career in this field.
