DDS — Founder & Lead Dentist
Dr. Hauser grew up in Texas with a deep appreciation for hard work, teamwork, and showing up for the people who count on you. As a collegiate football player under head coach Jim Harbaugh, he learned discipline, preparation, and performing under pressure. Those qualities shaped his approach to dentistry.
He founded South Austin Dental with a straightforward belief: every patient deserves unhurried attention, thorough explanations, and a provider who sees beyond the teeth to the whole person. Volume was never the goal. Relationships were.
Dr. Hauser takes an integrative approach to care, coordinating with physicians, oncologists, ENTs, and specialists across disciplines to understand how systemic health connects to oral health. Whether collaborating with a cardiologist on a patient with periodontal concerns or coordinating sleep and airway referrals, he values the kind of cross-disciplinary communication that leads to better outcomes.

His treatment philosophy is straightforward: diagnose honestly, present options clearly, and never let insurance dictate the standard of care. He builds treatment plans around what each patient actually needs, then helps find a path to make it work.
Dr. Hauser believes that knowing his patients as people, not just patients, is what makes great dentistry possible.


Dr. Hauser's commitment to continuing education and clinical excellence has been recognized by the Texas Academy of General Dentistry.
He pursues advanced training each year to bring the latest evidence-based techniques to South Austin Dental patients.


Using the iTero intraoral scanner, Dr. Hauser can show patients a digital preview of their treatment outcomes before a single tooth is touched.
This technology eliminates guesswork, reduces remakes, and gives patients the confidence to say yes to treatment they genuinely want.
