Your trusted family dentist in Shipley since 1965
Muirhead & Associates has been a proud fixture in the Shipley community for over half a century. Founded by Thomas Muirhead and his wife Jane in 1965, our practice remains a truly independent, family-run business dedicated to protecting smiles across Bradford, Bingley, Keighley, and beyond.
When you visit us, you'll be greeted by the same friendly faces (some of our team members have been with us for 40 years!) building relationships rooted in trust, warmth, and genuine care.
Same-day crowns and veneers with CEREC technology
We've been pioneers of digital dentistry in the UK since 1993, and Robert Muirhead now teaches the CEREC system to clinicians nationwide. Using advanced intraoral scanning and on-site milling, we can design, create, and fit beautiful ceramic crowns, inlays, and veneers in a single visit—no temporary restorations, no second appointments, and no waiting weeks for your smile to be complete. It's precise, efficient, and exceptionally comfortable.
Comprehensive dental care for your entire family
A practice that feels like home
Our team's longevity speaks volumes about the culture we've built here. With some staff members celebrating four decades of service, we've created an environment where loyalty, respect, and genuine kindness are at the heart of everything we do. This continuity means you'll always see familiar faces and the same dentist at every appointment unless you choose otherwise. We're proud to be part of the local fabric, serving families across Shipley, Bradford, Saltaire, and the surrounding communities with care that spans generations.
Dentistry that puts you first
With over 3,000 active patients and more than 100 excellent Google reviews, our reputation is built on trust, empathy, and outstanding clinical care. We take time to listen, explain every step clearly, and work at a pace that feels right for you.
Modern technology, traditional values, exceptional results
Our clinicians bring decades of expertise and advanced postgraduate qualifications across implant dentistry, periodontics, clear aligners, and restorative care. We combine this in-house expertise with state-of-the-art digital technology and an unhurried, patient-centred approach that puts you firmly in control.
Located just five minutes from the historic Saltaire World Heritage Site, we're easily accessible by car or bus, with free on-site parking and no roadside restrictions. Open five days a week with extended hours on Wednesdays, we're here when you need us.
