A Visit Your Child Looks Forward To

Where Kids Feel Safe and Supported

Choosing a dentist for your child is not just about teeth. It is about trust. It is about finding a place where your child feels calm, respected, and cared for from the very first visit.

Everything we do is built around helping children feel comfortable while giving parents confidence in the care their child receives. From toddlers to teens, each visit is designed to feel gentle, positive, and reassuring.

We take time to meet children where they are, explain things in ways that make sense, and create experiences that help build healthy habits for life. We proudly serve families throughout San Antonio and the surrounding communities, and we strive to make every visit accessible and welcoming.

Our team is happy to support diverse needs and communication styles, including Spanish-speaking families; Se habla español! and those who communicate using American Sign Language.

Dialling In On Your Kids’ Needs

Our purpose is simple. Help children grow up with healthy smiles and positive feelings about the dentist. That means focusing on prevention, using conservative treatment whenever possible, and never rushing a child through care. We believe great pediatric dentistry starts with listening, patience, and trust.

Parents are always part of the conversation. We explain what we see, what your child needs, and why it matters so you can make informed decisions without pressure or confusion.

Big Hearts, Gentle Care

Our care is led by Dr. Derrick Cantu and Dr. Christi Wengler, both board-certified pediatric dentists with advanced training focused exclusively on children. That specialized training allows them to care for developing smiles with confidence and compassion, whether it is a first dental visit, routine preventive care, or treatment that requires extra support.

Their approach is calm, thoughtful, and always centered on what helps your child feel safest in the chair.

Our Friendly Faces Make Kids Smile

Behind every great visit is a team that genuinely cares. Our dental team is known for their warmth, patience, and ability to connect with children in a way that feels natural and reassuring. From the front desk to the treatment rooms, you will find people who remember your child’s name, celebrate small wins, and understand that every child is different.

A Space Designed to Feel Calm

We believe the environment matters just as much as the care itself. Our office is intentionally designed to feel welcoming, calm, and kid-friendly, helping reduce anxiety before treatment even begins. A comfortable space, familiar faces, and a relaxed pace all work together to make visits feel easier for children and parents alike.
