Finding a dentist in Mayo is easier when local practice details are organised by town. A Department of Social Protection publication lists dentists in Ballina, Ballinrobe, Belmullet, Castlebar, Claremorris, Crossmolina and Westport, while also clarifying that the directory does not identify medical card scheme providers.
Dentists Mayo: towns included in the official directory
The publication, issued by the Department of Social Protection and published on 13 March 2020, provides dentist names, practice addresses, telephone numbers and panel numbers. The page was last updated on 25 September 2026, according to the supplied source.
The listed locations are:
- Ballina
- Ballinrobe
- Belmullet
- Castlebar
- Claremorris
- Crossmolina
- Westport
Castlebar has the largest number of entries in the directory, with practices located around Station Road, Davitt’s Terrace, Market Square, Breaffy Road and Breaffy Medical & Business Centre. Ballina and Westport also feature several listed practices, while individual entries are provided for Ballinrobe and Crossmolina.
What information is provided?
For each dentist, the directory may show the town or region, dentist’s name, practice address, phone number and panel number. Patients should contact a practice directly before travelling, as appointment availability, opening hours, services and participation in particular schemes can change.

Medical card dental treatment: contact the HSE
A key note on the official page states that the list does not include medical card scheme providers. The medical card scheme is operated separately by the Health Service Executive (HSE), so people seeking a dentist under that scheme should contact the HSE for current information.
The Revenue Commissioners, gov.ie and other public bodies provide separate services and should not be confused with the HSE dental provider network. Before booking, patients may wish to confirm:
- whether the dentist is accepting new patients;
- which treatments are available;
- whether the practice participates in the relevant scheme;
- the current consultation fee and payment arrangements; and
- the correct telephone number and location.

How to use the Mayo dentist list
Use the town headings to identify nearby practices, then telephone the listed number to verify the details. Panel numbers can help distinguish individual entries, particularly where several dentists work at the same clinic. The directory is a useful starting point, but it should not replace confirmation from the practice or the HSE.
Conclusion
This dentists Mayo directory brings together official contact information for practices across seven County Mayo towns. For medical card dental services, the most important takeaway is to contact the HSE directly, because those providers are listed separately from this publication.
