Anyone in Clare trying to find an approved local dentist for treatment support will want the latest official panel details in one place. The updated gov.ie publication from the Department of Social Protection outlines the current List of Dentists in County Clare, giving patients a practical reference for participating dentists across key towns in the county.
Published by the Department of Social Protection and updated on 7 August 2026, the notice covers dentists in Ennis, Ennistymon, Killaloe, Kilrush, Scarriff, Shannon and Sixmilebridge. It is important to note that this gov.ie list does not include medical card scheme providers, as that scheme is administered separately by the Health Service Executive (HSE).
gov.ie County Clare dentists list: what the update includes
The official gov.ie release serves as a location-based directory of dentists, including:
- Town or region
- Dentist name
- Practice address
- Phone number
- Panel number
This kind of public information helps residents identify participating providers quickly, particularly where access to local services matters for older people, families and those seeking treatment under Department of Social Protection supports. While agencies such as the Revenue Commissioners, Citizens Information Board and Health Service Executive (HSE) all provide different forms of public guidance, this particular gov.ie notice is focused specifically on dental panel information in Clare.
Towns covered in the County Clare dentist panel
The current gov.ie list includes dentists based in the following areas:
- Ennis
- Ennistymon
- Killaloe
- Kilrush
- Scarriff
- Shannon
- Sixmilebridge
Ennis has the largest number of listed providers, with multiple practices at Merchants Square, Steele’s Terrace, Woodquay, Bank Place, Roslevan Shopping Centre, Limerick Road and Francis Street. Other towns have smaller but clearly identified listings, helping patients locate services closer to home.

Key details for patients in Clare
For readers using the gov.ie directory, the most important point is that the list is informational and town-specific. Patients should contact the dental practice directly using the phone numbers provided to confirm appointments, eligibility and available treatments.
The publication also includes a clear note that medical card dental providers are not part of this listing. Anyone looking for services under that separate scheme should contact the Health Service Executive (HSE) or local HSE health offices for further information. That distinction matters because people often assume all public dental supports appear in one list, when in fact they may be managed under different parts of the Irish public system involving Health, Social Protection and related state services.
Examples from the updated panel
Among the locations named in the updated gov.ie list are:
- Ennis Dental Surgery, 16 Merchants Square, Ennis
- Cube Dental Ennis, Steele’s Terrace, Ennis
- Shields Dental Clinic, Woodquay, Parnell Street, Ennis
- Ennistymon Medical Centre, Main Street, Ennistymon
- Harbourside Dental Clinic, Merchants Quay Business Centre, Kilrush
- Alexandra Dental, Skycourt Shopping Centre, Shannon
- The Old Mill Dental, Georges Street, Sixmilebridge
For users navigating Irish public information portals such as gov.ie, clarity and local relevance are essential. Listings like this help reduce confusion and make it easier to connect with available care providers.

Why this gov.ie update matters
This refreshed gov.ie publication is useful for anyone in County Clare searching for official dental panel information through a trusted government source. The main takeaway is simple: the list helps residents find participating dentists by town, but those seeking medical card dental care should contact the Health Service Executive (HSE) separately. For the latest verified provider details, gov.ie remains the key source to check.
