Mayo Dentists: Department Publishes County Mayo Dental Directory

Finding a local dentist in County Mayo is easier with the official Mayo Dentists directory published by the Department of Social Protection. The government publication lists dental practices and panel numbers across Ballina, Ballinrobe, Belmullet, Castlebar, Claremorris, Crossmolina and Westport.

Originally published on 13 March 2020 and updated on 25 September 2026, the directory is intended to help people identify dental providers in towns throughout Mayo. Patients should contact a practice directly to confirm opening hours, availability and whether it can meet their needs.

Mayo Dentists listed by town

The official list covers a range of local providers and includes practice addresses, telephone numbers and panel identification numbers where available. Main locations include:

• Ballina: Several practices are listed around Kevin Barry Street, Bury Street and Teeling Street.
• Ballinrobe: The directory includes a dental surgery on Mason’s Close, Church Lane.
• Belmullet: Providers are listed at Erris Dental on Main Street.
• Castlebar: The largest section includes practices around Station Road, Market Square, Davitt’s Terrace and Breaffy Road.
• Claremorris: Dental providers appear at Silverbridge and Dalton Street.
• Crossmolina: The list identifies a dental surgery at Deel Medical Centre.
• Westport: Practices are listed on South Mall, Upper James Street, North Mall and Ballinrobe Road.

The directory includes named practitioners and contact details supplied in the government publication. Because services and contact information can change, checking details before attending is recommended.

Important note about medical cards

The Department of Social Protection specifically states that this directory does not include medical card scheme providers. The medical card scheme is operated separately by the Health Service Executive (HSE).

People seeking a dentist connected with medical card services should contact the HSE or their local HSE health office for current guidance. A dentist appearing in this publication should not automatically be assumed to provide medical card treatment.

How to use the Mayo dental directory

Before booking an appointment, readers can use the list as a starting point and take these practical steps:

1. Choose the town or region most convenient for you.
2. Call the practice using the number shown in the official publication.
3. Ask whether new patients are being accepted.
4. Confirm fees, appointment availability and the type of treatment offered.
5. If you need medical card services, verify eligibility and provider status with the HSE.

Panel numbers are included for reference, but they do not replace confirmation directly with the dental practice or the relevant public body.

What patients should remember

The Mayo Dentists directory is a useful official reference, but it is not a live booking system and does not guarantee that every listed practice is currently taking patients. Telephone numbers, staffing and services may change after publication.

For the most accurate information, contact the practice before travelling. For medical card-related dental care, consult the HSE rather than relying solely on this directory.

Key takeaway: The Mayo Dentists list provides a practical starting point for finding dental practices across County Mayo, while the HSE remains the correct source for medical card provider information.
