Hello everyone,
I need a dental implant, so I contacted a dental clinic I had used last year.
I explained that, following an initial appointment to determine the necessary procedures and set up a treatment schedule, I would need a medical certificate to support a visa application.
The certificate should ideally include:
The nature of the treatment (e.g., dental implant with crown restoration)
The estimated duration (e.g., 6 to 9 months)
Confirmation that multiple appointments and follow-ups are required (e.g., for osseointegration, crown placement, and post-op checkups)
My full name and the dentist’s, along with the date, their signature, and the clinic’s stamp
Ideally, the clinic’s license or registration number, if available
The clinic replied that, as a clinic, they are not authorized to issue medical certificates, and that I should contact a hospital instead.
Does this response seem normal to you? Has anyone encountered something like this before?
Thank you!
