Dr. DiLoreto provides outstanding results with dental implants for Detroit and the surrounding areas. Committed to offering our patients a complete array of dental treatment options, dental implants provide an excellent answer for patients who are uncomfortable with dentures.

Dental implants are screw-like devices that are implanted into the jawbone to act as an anchor for replacement teeth. For stability and ease of use, there is no better solution for tooth loss than dental implants. Located near Detroit, our office is equipped with state-of-the-art tools to ensure your dental implants are of the highest quality. Dental implants replicate the entire tooth including the crown and the root; thus, bone loss is kept to a minimum, healthy teeth are preserved and patients enjoy increased stability and confidence in eating and speaking.
The implant procedure is primarily done in three stages. The first stage is securing the implant to the bone. The second stage, osseointegration, is the period of healing for the jawbone. This healing period lasts approximately four months. The third stage is the attachment of the final restoration.
Thousands of people have enjoyed the numerous benefits of dental implants. Patients experience increased self-esteem, better appearance and comfort, better ability to chew, and improved speech with their implants.
If you think you are a good candidate for dental implants, contact our cosmetic dentist near Detroit to schedule an appointment.
Although we offer many restorative dentistry treatments for our Grosse Pointe and Detroit area patients, dentures remain a viable and cost-effective option for many people who have lost most or all of their teeth. The craft and expertise of Dr. DiLoreto combined with the latest advancements in denture technology will ensure that you will receive an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable set of dentures.
Whether you need complete or partial dentures, DiLoreto Dental Care P.C. will work diligently to exceed your expectations.
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth.
Dentures can be made with acrylic resin, various types of metal or a combination of metal and acrylic resin.
Dentures can be attached to implants for better comfort when chewing. With implant supported dentures you never have to worry about loose or poor fitting dentures.
The doctor performs a complete examination. If necessary, remaining teeth are extracted. An impression is taken to send to the lab for fabrication. When the dentures have returned from the lab, the doctor will adjust and fit them. The doctor provides post-procedural instructions on how to care for your new dentures.

Dental crowns are used at our Detroit area office to cover cracked, severely damaged, stained or chipped teeth or to hold dental bridges in place. Crowns, often referred to as ‘caps’, are tooth-shaped coverings made from porcelain, metal or a combination of materials. They are placed over the visible part of the tooth to add strength and improve appearance.
Two office visits are usually required to receive dental crowns at our Detroit area office. The doctor performs an initial examination. The teeth are prepped for the crown. An impression is made and sent to the lab. When the impression returns from the lab, the crown is adjusted and cemented onto the tooth.

While there are several different types of dental bridges, the most commonly used bridge is a fixed bridge, which consists of a false tooth with crowns attached to either side. The bridge is used to fill a gap left by a missing tooth. The crowns are securely attached over the surrounding teeth and the false tooth fills the gap left by the missing tooth.
The doctor will do a thorough examination. The teeth are then prepared to receive the bridge – the teeth are filed down at this stage to allow for the thickness of the bridge. An impression is taken to send to the lab. When the bridge is returned from the lab, the bridge is fitted and cemented onto the teeth.

We are proud to be one of the few offices in the Metro Detroit Area equipped with the most advanced water laser available, the Waterlase® MD.
Most pain and discomfort associated with many dental procedures is caused by the heat and vibration of the dental drill. The Waterlase® MD utilizes a patented and unique combination of laser energy and water to safely, accurately, and painlessly prepare the teeth and soft tissue for dental procedures. As the Waterlase® MD does not vibrate and heat the teeth as a standard dental drill, most procedures can be done without the need of local anesthesia – no shots!
The Waterlase® MD also prepares the teeth with less risk of damage to the healthy tooth structure, a common problem with dental drills.
It also allows many procedures to be done in our office without the need to refer patients to specialists. This is a great convenience to our patients who all have busy lives and need to reduce their time in a dental chair.
For some people, the two scariest words in the English language are “root canal”. Fortunately, patients at DiLoreto Dental Care P.C. have discovered that, at the hands of a skilled and thoughtful professional such as Dr. DiLoreto, root canal treatment does not have to be scary at all.
As a qualified and skilled practicing dentist in the Detroit area, Dr. DiLoreto has years of experience in root canal treatment. Supported at his Detroit area office by high-tech equipment and an expert staff, Dr. DiLoreto has continued his family’s 50-year tradition of providing quality root canal therapy for the Harper Woods Michigan and surrounding communities.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, deals with the treatment of dental pulp – the soft tissue inside the tooth. This procedure is often the last measure used to save a tooth prior to extraction.
The pulp of the tooth contains the nerves, arteries, veins and lymph tissue. By the time decay advances near or into the pulp, the tooth is at high risk of infection and begins to ache. Thankfully, root canal treatment at our Detroit area practice has saved many teeth from extraction.
The doctor first ensures patient comfort by administering a local anesthetic. The tooth is then opened to reveal the tooth pulp. The infected pulp is removed. The root canals are then cleaned and prepared for the filling. The root canal is filled and sealed. A crown is placed over the tooth for strength and aesthetics.
If you are experiencing tooth pain and think you might need a root canal, contact our expert endodontist at our office near Detroit.
We also offer an array of cosmetic dental services to enhance your smile.
Diagnosing TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint disorder) can be very difficult as facial pain can be symptomatic of many other problems. There are numerous causes for TMJ including dental problems, injury, arthritis and tooth grinding. TMJ disorder is characterized by pain in the jaw, locked jaw, headaches, clicking and popping in the ear and an uncomfortable bite. If you think you might suffer from TMJ, our Detroit area staff can provide information and possible solutions.
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. This joint connects the lower jaw to the base of the skull. TMJ pain is believed to be caused by displaced cartilage. Treatment options for TMJ are as varied as the causes. If the TMJ disorder is the result of teeth grinding, the doctor may prescribe a night guard. For more severe cases of TMJ, medication may be prescribed.
Procedures for this disorder are varied and dependent on a thorough examination.
If you think you are suffering from TMJ disorder, contact our Detroit area office today. We can help.
