There is no harm in installing artificial teeth when necessary, or when there is a need, or to remove a defect or disfigurement, based on what was narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, and Al-Nasa'i from Arfajah ibn As'ad (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "My nose was cut off on the Day of Al-Kilāb in the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah), so I made a nose of silver, but it began to smell. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded me to make a nose of gold." Al-Albani graded it as Hasan (good). Shyness when laughing, if it is due to a disfigurement in the teeth, falls under what has been mentioned.
