These photos show, very graphically, what happens over time when you don't visit the dentist. The decay and build up of plaque and calculus leads to gum disease and decay of the natural tooth.
While the cleanup is dramatic, there is permanent damage to the teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can help the appearance but the damage is done. While healing can begin to take place some damage is irreversible.
The lesson here is obvious, see your dentist regularly.
