Dentists in Ireland

Dental practices in Ireland

Dentistry in Ireland is delivered mostly by private practices, many of them run as limited companies, alongside the HSE public dental service for children and medical-card holders. This list covers the companies on the CRO register whose principal activity is dental practice, from single-dentist surgeries to orthodontic and implant clinics.

What to check before you book

• Dental Council registration. Every dentist practising in Ireland must be on the register of the Dental Council of Ireland, which is public at dentalcouncil.ie. Specialists (orthodontists, oral surgeons) are on a separate specialist register.
• Treatment schemes. The Dental Treatment Benefit Scheme (PRSI) and the Dental Treatment Services Scheme (medical card) cover specific treatments only at participating practices; ask before the appointment.
• Price lists. Practices are required to display their prices for common treatments.

How this list is built

Companies are included when the CRO register gives NACE code 86.23 (dental practice activities) as their principal activity. Phone numbers, websites and descriptions come from each practice's own website.
