Michael J. Landry, DDS, D. ABDSM

Chief Operating Officer & Clinical Director

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.

Wendell Dela Cruz, DDS, FAGD

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 and Pogi; 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.

Amit Gupta, DDS

While not a native Texan, Dr. Gupta made Houston his home in 2021 after 20 years of studying, working, and living in New York.

His interest and involvement in dentistry started long before receiving any formal dental education. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he throughout his high school years and college summers was a dental assistant for his own family dentist. There he learned much about the field of dentistry, but more importantly the competence and responsibility it takes to become a successful medical professional. He now strives to deliver the best care possible, in the most comfortable manner.

Dr. Gupta moved from Pittsburgh to New York in 2001 to attend college at New York Institute of Technology where he completed a B.S. in Life Sciences in 2005. He then went on to the famed New York University College of Dentistry for his dental degree. New York City was the perfect place to experience all walks of life, and also train with the most current and modern aspects of dentistry. While in dental school, he served as a member of the ethics committee, and as a student mentor to underclassmen.

Following graduation from NYUCD in 2009, he joined the hospital staff at Nassau University Medical Center, a level one trauma center. He completed a general practice residency in 2010, with program emphases on oral surgery and comprehensive care. Since then, in adding further advancements to his way of practice, he has had additional training in dental implants and prosthetics, oral surgery, and cosmetics.

Dr. Gupta enjoys and believes in giving back to his community outside of his job as well. He has been volunteering with RAM-Remote Area Medical since 2012, offering dental services in rural America to individuals who do not have access to care. He also provides help to his local temple community in any way possible, even if not dental related.

Dr. Gupta is married to his wife Kavita, and they have two children. He likes to cycle, travel, and cook. He’s a car and sports enthusiast, and is always supporting his hometown Pittsburgh sports teams.
