Question

Are men permitted to wear gold teeth?

Answer

Men are not permitted to wear gold teeth as donning oneself with gold is prohibited for men. Yes, if there is a need, and there is no other way of fulfilling the necessity except by donning gold, then it will be permitted (on the basis of necessity.)
