In the early stages of periodontal disease, your teeth will typically be fine. After the deep cleaning, you can expect your gums and teeth to begin feeling pain-free and healthy again. If the disease progresses to advanced periodontal disease, you may experience bone loss and require surgery to get rid of the infection.
Treating gum disease right away will help prevent more complicated and expensive treatments in the future. If you lose any teeth due to the effects of periodontal disease, dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth and are the only restoration procedure that improves bone density.
