Meet Mary Ann and Dr. Michael J. Landry, Consultants in Dental Aesthetics

Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mary Ann and Dr. Michael J. Landry.

Dr. Landry started practicing dentistry in 1981 here in Houston< Texas. He established Consultants in Dental Aesthetics in 2005, shortly after he married his business partner, Mary Ann. Mary Ann is the practice visionary. Consultants in Dental Aesthetics (CDA), has changed the way dentistry is perceived. CDA is a Spa inspired service experience, where team members are highly trained and patient centric. The practice also sets itself apart with humanitarian efforts in mission work, and local charities. It is the goal of CDA to give $1 M annually in charity works. This is still a goal but is the mission of CDA.

Dr. Landry’s practice hosts the finest patient friendly technologies and comfort amenities more commonly found perhaps at a Ritz Carlton rather than a dental office. Patients rave about the personal concierge service and attention to detail.

CDA strives to set itself apart from commodity dentistry with its core values, people and philanthropic contributions. If you wish to be part of something good, become a patient at CDA and you are well on your way.

Has it been a smooth road?
Finding the right people to serve our patients will always be a focus. It is our people who allow us to achieve excellence. One other obstacle is the misperception on the benefits of dental insurance. Most believe insurance would cover your personal dental needs, however, whether in or out of network, insurance companies constantly downgrade prescribed or completed treatment frustrating both patients and team members, leaving the sting with our patients. We have created the CDA Advantage Membership for our patients, so they may get the best possible care with reasonable pricing and not be dependent on what insurance only will cover.

Not all dental practices are the same. We are about quality and relationships, we are not the cheapest but we are very much in line with the true value we offer.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Consultants in Dental Aesthetics story. Tell us more about the business.
Dr. Michael J. Landry and his team of dentists offer general, cosmetic, aesthetic and periodontal therapies. In other words, you can become a New Patient, get your exam, cleaning and have a complete plan to ensure the highest dental health possible. We take on a comprehensive approach, a holistic approach to treating your oral health.

Our Doctors have several fellowships in Implants, General Dentistry, Laser Dentistry, Aesthetic Dentistry and are highly acknowledged by the dental community in awards and designations.

Our Doctors spend more non-required hours of education and service training to please our patients and exceed their expectations.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Corporate dentistry has become more prevalent, price focused and offers more competition for those concerned strictly with price.

Becoming a Category of One, differentiating ourselves through services, relationships, comprehensive and holistic dentistry, CDA is securing its future in the area.

Healthcare insights continually point to the need of routine dental visits to ensure optimal heath for a life well lived and longevity.
