Sainsbury’s has created the first supermarket polyclinic by opening a dental surgery at a store that already boasts several other health services.

The dental surgery adds a new arm to the GP surgery, pharmacy and podiatrist at Sainsbury's Heaton Park store in Manchester.

A variety of treatments will be available, competitively priced against NHS and private surgeries, according to the retailer.

The dental surgery, which opened on Monday, will be open seven days a week, meaning that it will offer longer opening hours than private surgeries.

Sainsbury’s expects the dental clinic to serve around 12,000 patients a year.
