About Hearthstone Dental Specialists
Suite 105 at 13535 Hausman Pass sits on a short, residential-scale street off Hausman Road on San Antonio's northwest side, a few minutes from the UTSA campus and the I-10 corridor. It is a convenient stop for people living around Braun, Babcock and De Zavala, and for patients driving in from Helotes or Leon Valley who would rather not fight their way toward the Medical Center. Appointments run 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and there is no Friday clinic.
The practice is built around periodontics and implants. Dr. Brandon Sehlke leads the implant and periodontal work, with Dr. Greer also on the periodontal side, treating the tissue and bone that hold teeth in place. That is where a surprising number of loose teeth and failed implants actually begin. The foundational treatment is scaling and root planing: under local anesthetic, hardened deposits are removed from the root surfaces below the gum line and the root is smoothed so the gum can reattach instead of sheltering bacteria in a deep pocket. It is usually done in halves or quadrants, and it is measured objectively. Pocket depths are charted before and after, so you can see whether a six millimetre pocket has come back to three or four. Where pockets stay deep, surgical access or regenerative grafting is the next step, not another round of cleaning.
Implant work runs alongside it: placement, bone grafting and regeneration where the ridge is deficient, soft tissue grafting, crown lengthening and full-mouth planning. Three-dimensional imaging maps bone volume and the position of nerves and sinuses before any surgical date is set, which is the difference between a planned implant and a hopeful one.
Two practical notes. Sedation is available, which matters for longer surgical appointments and for patients who have been putting off gum treatment for years. And the practice publishes implant pricing openly rather than keeping it behind a consultation, with financing offered, which is useful if you are comparing quotes across the northwest side and want a number before committing to an exam.

The staff and doctors, starting with the front desk are all great. Would highly recommend them.
Dr Brandon Sehlke talked to me throughout the whole procedure explaining things as he was doing it. This was extremely helpful in easing my nerves. He was very clear about how I would be feeling afterwards. I would highly recommend his services.
My experience was excellent! Great surgeon and staff!
Everyone was incredible. Donna at the front was so nice. The Dr. was very good at his job and very nice and professional. The place was clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone.
Friendly service. A very thorough explanation provided by the doctor, I'm very satisfied with the procedure.
Great experience from beginning to end and beyond. Very detailed explanation of all options, risks, and pricing. Very friendly and compassionate staff and doctor. The root canal procedure was painless, even with only local anesthesia. The doctor and the staff followed up the next day to see how I was doing. HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone needing endodontics. Super people who treat you with dignity and respect from beginning to end.
When I found out I had to have more than 4 root canals done, my heart sank because I didn't think my anxiety would allow it. From the moment I walked in the door at Hearthstone, I was met with warm smiles and genuine accommodating energy. I thought I'd sweat myself off the dental chair for the first procedure, but the gentle, caring voice and hands of Dr. Sakr kept me grounded. The process was pain-free, and I appreciated him talking me through each step. I'm two root canals down and two to go! I would highly recommend Hearthstone to anyone looking for a root canal specialist. With Dr. Sakr and his team, with confidence I can say; you're in great hands!
I highly recommend Dr. Sakr. I was able to get an appointment the following day first thing in the morning. I went in for a root canal that I have honestly been dreading to treat due to previous specialists that I've seen. Dr. Sakr was very thorough through the entire process. Very minimal pain. If I ever need another root canal done, that is definitely the place to go, which I hope I don't lol. Overall my experience with Dr. Sakr has been one the of best dental experiences I've ever had. From the beginning of getting the x rays done and explaining the entire process of the root canal treatment to the post op check-in in was really nice. The office itself is beautiful, very modern and clean. It has to be the most nicest dental office I've personally seen. The entire staff is so nice and professional. Again, definitely the place to go to for a root canal!
I had never gotten a root canal before, and so I was pretty nervous. Ive heard horror stories from others even my own family members-- had been having pain for a while, and it wasn’t going away. My dentist ended up referring me to a specialist, Dr. Sakr, who made the whole experience positive and pleasant. He was attuned to my issues right away and from the minute I walked into Hearthstone, I felt cared for and at ease. I had 2 root canals done a couple weeks apart & Dr. Sakr ensured they were both painless and efficient. I was in and out in about an hour and a half and actually enjoyed the spa and luxury mood of the office, calming music, essential oil diffuser & blankets they offer etc. It turned something I was anxious about, into something relaxing. 5 stars for Dr. Sakr and the Hearthstone Team!
Highly recommend Dr. Sakr. I went in for a root canal re-treatment (old root canal from decades ago started failing). Not only I was able to get an appointment within a couple of days, but the entire experience was painless. Dr. Sakr took extra time and care to ensure that my treatment was successful. The post-op care was excellent, he is always available for questions and the medication prescribed for pain and inflammation made the recovery process a lot easier. But my experience with Dr. Sakr did not end with the root canal; when there was confusion with my dentist about the plan to restore my tooth, Dr. Sakr personally called them to clarify. He even went above and beyond to finish the tooth restoration himself when my appointment with the dentist fell through due to an emergency. It is really hard to find someone so professional and dedicated to their patient’s. Last, the entire staff at Hearthstone is friendly and professional, the office is beautiful and the equipment is modern. I hope that I never need another root canal, but if I do, I have no doubt that Dr. Sakr at Hearthstone is the best choice in town!
