Dental Practices for Sale

How’s this for ironic. In 2008, Sainsbury’s (yes, the supermarket) announced its intention to offer customers in-store dental work. At the time of the announcement, a spokesman for the company said “we are doing this because there is a shortage of dental practices is the UK.”

As bizarre as the concept of combining the weekly shop with some cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/articles/root-canal.html work may be, since their conception, the in-store practices have actually become something of a hit amongst customers, which brings us to the ironic part. Sainsbury’s dentists have become so popular that some established dental practices are being forced to close down. buying a dental practice guide adverts are more and more common sight while many other practices have been forced to go private in order to keep business afloat.

Dentists in Dublin, Manchester and Birmingham – all over the UK – have reported a loss in business in the two years since Sainsbury’s first practice opened. The convenience and cheaper prices have taken a massive toll and now it’s simply a waiting game until the other major supermarkets open their own practices, too. “We are doing this because there is a shortage of dental practices in the UK”. Indeed. Well, there certainly will be soon enough.
