Our mission is to consistently provide comprehensive dentistry with 5-star patient service in Spring, TX. We believe going to the dentist should feel empowering and rewarding, as opposed to intimidating and worrisome. Our experienced, understanding team is here to help you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.
Dr. Michael Landry is the proud owner of Consultants in Dental Aesthetics and is an invaluable part of our robust team of skilled doctors. He is a board-certified diplomate in aesthetics and sleep dentistry. Dr. Landry has been awarded fellowships in the Academy of General Dentistry, the International Congress of Implantology, the Misch International Implant Institute, the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry, the International Academy of Dental-Facial Aesthetics, the International College of Dentists, and the American Society of Dental Aesthetics.
Dr. Landry has lectured nationally on CEREC restorations, the use of CAT Scans in dentistry, treating patients with hemophilia, 3D printing, digital scanning, 3D designing, and practice management. Dr. Landry also has a passion for treating patients with sleep apnea. "Just as many people have sleep apnea as diabetes and asthma, but sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed. Currently, only 10% of those with sleep apnea have been diagnosed. If left untreated, sleep apnea can shorten your life by 7 years. We can use oral devices instead of CPAP to treat this disease."
Dr. Landry was born in Orange, Texas, and attended Lamar University and the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. He is married to his wife, Mary Ann, and together they have four grown children. He attends Prince of Peace Catholic Church, where he serves as an Acolyte. In his spare time, Dr. Landry can often be found enjoying some time outdoors while golfing or fishing.
Dr. Wendell Dela Cruz is a valuable asset to the team as an associate and general dentist at Consultants in Dental Aesthetics and was hand-picked by Dr. Landry. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Biology and a certificate in Business Foundations and obtained his dental degree from the prestigious UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry.
Dr. Dela Cruz achieved a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, an important honor demonstrating a never-ending pursuit of continuing dental education. Not only is this distinction bestowed upon only 6% of general dentists in the U.S., but Dr. Dela Cruz also earned this title in the shortest amount of time possible, becoming one of the youngest recipients of this recognition. In line with his commitment to providing the best and most comprehensive care to our patients, he has additional training in cosmetics, implant surgery, and Invisalign, and is one of only a handful of dentists in Houston capable of performing the less invasive, more comfortable PST (Pinhole surgical technique) for gum grafting.
Within the community, Dr. Dela Cruz has served as co-chair of the Dental Health Committee of the Greater Houston Dental Society, organizing charity dental events like the city-wide “Give Kids a Smile” day for lower-income children and “Veteran Smile Day.” He helped organize and run a New Dentist Study Club for the Houston Academy of General Dentistry, facilitating continuing education opportunities for young dentists.
Having grown up in Cy-Fair, Dr. Dela Cruz has strong ties within the neighborhood and effortlessly relates to the patients of CDA. Dr. Dela Cruz has also lived in Saudi Arabia, The Philippines, Canada, and Mexico, and continues to travel and explore the world. He enjoys staying physically active; working out; playing with his dog, Neo; exploring Houston’s burgeoning craft brewery scene; and tinkering with DIY projects around the house. Dr. Dela Cruz loves trying new foods around Houston and will not hesitate to try a recommendation for the next delicious burger joint.
Dr. Dela Cruz is meticulous, energetic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate - the type of dentist we cherish at CDA. His patience and sincerity will make your experience at CDA welcoming and complete.

Dr. Gupta, while not a native Texan, made it his home in 2021 after 20 years of living in New York.
Dr. Gupta’s career as a dentist started long before receiving any formal dental education. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he throughout his high school and college years was a dental assistant for his own family dentist. There he learned about the field of dentistry, but more importantly the competence and responsibility it takes to become a successful medical professional. He strives to deliver the best care possible, in the most comfortable manner.
Dr. Gupta moved to New York in 2001 to attend college at New York Institute of Technology as a member of a 7-year BS/DO program. But while attending, he reverted to the idea of his original career passion, dentistry. After graduation from NYIT, he attended the famed New York University College of Dentistry to obtain his dental degree. While in dental school, he served as a member of the class ethics committee, and also as a student mentor for underclassmen. Following his graduation from NYUCD, he went on to join the hospital staff at Nassau University Medical Center, a level one trauma center, where he completed his general practice residency. Since then, in adding further advancements to his scope of practice, Dr. Gupta has had additional training in dental implants and prosthetics, oral surgery, and cosmetics.
Dr. Gupta tries to give back to his community through dentistry. He believes in giving back and paying it forward, because at some point, someone did it for him. He has been volunteering with RAM-Remote Area Medical since 2012, offering dental services in rural America for those who do not have access to dental care. He also tries to provide help in his local temple community in any way possible, even if not dental-related.
In his personal life, Dr. Gupta likes to keep busy outside of the office as well, mostly spending time with his wife and daughter. He likes to cycle, travel, and cook. He’s a car and sports lover, and is always supporting his hometown Pittsburgh sports teams.
