Originally from Keller, Texas, Dr. Rex Wildey is from a family of dentists. His father, Dr. William Wildey, is an Endodontist in Hurst, Texas and his brother, Dr. Tyler Wildey, is an Oral Surgeon in Austin, Texas.
After graduating from Baylor University with a degree in Finance, Dr. Rex went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and his two-year advanced Pediatric training through The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
He and his wife, Jennifer, are proud parents of two sons and a daughter. He enjoys coaching T-Ball and softball, running, SUP (stand up paddleboarding) and he loves outdoor sports like hiking, skiing and surfing. Though a huge Texas Rangers baseball fan, he and his family fell in love with San Antonio during his post-doctoral training and decided to raise their family here.
Some children are born with a common condition called a tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) and/or a lip-tie, which results in restrictions that can create difficulty with breastfeeding, and lead to other health problems like speech and airway difficulties, dental decay, spacing, and even digestive issues.
During a procedure called a frenotomy, we use a laser light to release the frenum under the tongue or upper lip, which allows for a fuller range of motion. This procedure has very little discomfort and almost no bleeding; babies and children often sleep through the procedure. The laser also sterilizes upon touch, stimulating healing and reducing the chance of infection.

Dr. Wildey and his staff are wonderful! Coming in with multiple kiddos at the same visit they were efficient and respectful of our time while also being extremely thorough! They are compassionate, understanding and very personable making kids feel welcome and the experience enjoyable.

Dr. Wildey and his staff are the best. Our kids feel very comfortable around them. They help make a scary experience a happy one :) Each exam room is decorated differently & the bus in the waiting room is always a huge hit while we wait! We have moved to Boerne but will continue to drive to this location!

My kids LOVE going to the dentist thanks to Dr. Wildey and even fight about who gets to sit in the chair and get a cleaning first. The waiting room is fun and relaxed- I wish they cared for adults! This is especially wonderful considering my daughter is on the autism spectrum and can get sensory overload and anxious (as she did with previous dentists), but not at Wildey. Another amazing feature is the exam rooms have one chair in each instead of the traditional bay of dental chairs. That used to make her nervous when she would see other nervous kids, but now since going to Wildey that anxiety is all gone and we all love it

Got an appointment right away when I called. They were so caring when evaluating my baby's oral ties. They were even able to preform the frenectomys during the same appointment. So grateful for WPD San Antonio and the team that works there!

Absolutely LOVVE this place! The environment makes my 3 year old feel at ease & comfortable every time. Everyone is so sweet, patient & caring to my daughter which makes me feel better as a parent. I love when they talk directly to my little one, just they way I do w/ her. Even when my daughter gets a little fussy, I never feel uncomfortable/stressed because the laddies are so good w/ her & understanding/patient We've been coming here since my daughter was 1 & will never go anywhere else! Thank you for being amazing all the time!

Maybe we just have bad luck but every time we've been to this dentist we've had at least a 30 minute wait, today we just walked out. They could have at least said sorry, we're running a bit behind today. It's not fun when your young child is already nervous, then has a long wait on top of it. We won't be back. Sad because the staff and dentist are great. To top it off they never called to see why we left or apologize. Oh well.
