Paediatric Dentist in Indooroopilly | Dr Matthew Fracaro BDS
I am Dr Matthew Fracaro, a Board Registered Specialist Paediatric Dentist with 28 years of experience in healthcare and 22 years dedicated to my Indooroopilly practice. My approach prioritises individualised care, focusing on long-term dental health outcomes rather than quick fixes. I maintain a small patient list to ensure thorough, stress-free treatment tailored to each child's unique needs. My practice avoids third-party driven decisions, instead prioritising clinically proven methods and materials. I personally oversee all treatments, ensuring accountability and high standards. My team, many of whom have worked with me for over two decades, shares my commitment to gentle, patient-centred care.We specialise in treating infants, children, and adolescents, including complex cases requiring surgical or orthodontic intervention. My philosophy is grounded in ethical treatment, continuing education, and the principle of treating others as I would my own family. I collaborate with referring practitioners while welcoming direct inquiries from parents seeking specialist-level care. My practice combines technical expertise with behavioural management to create positive dental experiences that shape lifelong oral health habits.

Services
Paediatric Crowns
Custom-fitted dental crowns for children's primary teeth, restoring function and preventing further decay. Our crowns ensure proper spacing for permanent teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. We use durable materials specifically designed for developing mouths.
Happy Gas
Mild sedation using nitrous oxide to help anxious children relax during dental procedures. This safe, reversible option allows immediate return to normal activities post-treatment while ensuring comfortable care experiences.
Fissure Sealants
Protective coatings applied to permanent molars to prevent decay in hard-to-clean grooves. This preventive treatment creates smooth surfaces that are easier to maintain, reducing cavity risk by up to 80% in clinical studies.
Orthodontics
Early intervention and corrective treatment for misaligned teeth and jaw development issues. We address problems like crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities using age-appropriate appliances to guide proper dental alignment.
Hospital Dentistry
Comprehensive dental treatment under general anaesthesia for complex cases or anxious patients. Performed at accredited hospitals, this option ensures thorough care in a controlled environment for children requiring extensive procedures.

You never want to see a specialist. Especially when it comes to your children. This team was absolutely amazing and insanely supportive. They talked me through everything and made sure I understood what was needing to be done.

I'm really happy with our whole experience with Dr Fracaro, we had been to a number of pediatric dentist before we were referred to him and he was by far the best one we had been too. His staff were all so friendly and helpful, Dr Fracaro was very kind and respectful everytime he talked to us and when interacting with our son. He did a really good job on our sons teeth, worth the money we spent. My husband and I were really nervous about our son going through the treatment and also going under general anaesthesia but the whole experience ended up being a really positive one. We highly recommend

Dr Fracaro was introduced to our family about 7 years ago - for our daughters dental care. She was born prematurely and we had some concerns about her teeth that were cutting through. Dr Fracaro was so wonderful and really went above and beyond to explain what was happening and how best we could work her dental care moving forward.
7 years on, and 3 more children - we still see Dr Fracaro. He over sees their dental checkup, any dental concerns and especial the dental care of our 2 premature children. Having Dr Fracaro oversee both their dental development and oral health has been I valuable.

I took my 11 year old son to Dr Fracaro to have teeth removed due to overcrowding. He was wonderful and very caring! My son was able to watch movies while the procedure was being completed which was amazing. I would definitely recommend.
