Expert oral surgery and wisdom tooth removal in Bradford
Oral surgery
Safe, skilled oral surgery in a welcoming environment. Fixing impacted wisdom teeth and performing complex extractions
Trusted oral surgery at Muirhead & Associates
Sometimes dental problems require more than routine treatment. Oral surgery addresses complex issues such as impacted wisdom teeth, difficult extractions, and other surgical procedures that cannot be managed through standard care.
At Muirhead & Associates, our experienced team combines advanced surgical skills with a genuinely calm, patient-centred approach, so you feel safe and supported throughout your journey.
What is oral surgery and when is it needed?
Oral surgery covers a range of procedures designed to treat dental conditions that require surgical intervention. The most common procedure we perform is wisdom tooth removal, particularly for impacted wisdom teeth that are unable to erupt properly through the gum.
When a wisdom tooth is impacted (whether vertically, horizontally, or at an angle) it can cause pain, infection, damage to neighbouring teeth, or crowding. Horizontally impacted wisdom teeth are especially problematic and often require careful surgical extraction to prevent complications and support your long-term oral health.
How much does oral surgery cost?
Every oral surgery is unique, with varying levels of complexity. We'll give you a full itemised quote for the cost of your oral surgery after your consultation. Factors such as the position of the tooth, whether it's impacted, and how involved the surgical procedure needs to be can all play a role in the overall cost.
To help spread the cost of your surgery, we offer 0% finance over 10 or 12 months, or up to 60 months at 9.9% APR.
What to expect from oral surgery at Muirhead & Associates
Your consultation
We'll carry out a thorough examination, take digital X-rays to assess the position of the tooth, explain the surgical plan clearly, and provide a detailed quote. Any questions or concerns are discussed openly before you decide to proceed.
Your procedure
On the day, the area will be fully numbed with local anaesthetic to ensure you're completely comfortable. The tooth is carefully removed, the site cleaned, and dissolvable stitches placed if needed. Most procedures take between 30 and 60 minutes.
Recovery
You'll receive clear written aftercare instructions to support healing. Most patients recover within one to two weeks, with initial swelling and discomfort settling within the first few days. We're always here if you need reassurance or advice during your recovery.

How do I know if I need oral surgery?
You might need oral surgery if you're experiencing ongoing pain at the back of your mouth, swelling around your gums, difficulty opening your jaw, or repeated infections near a partially erupted tooth. Often, impacted wisdom teeth are identified during a routine dental check-up before symptoms even begin, which is why attending regular six-month examinations is so important. If your dentist spots a potential issue early, we can plan treatment proactively and prevent more serious complications down the line.
