Gum disease usually takes years to become severe even in the absence of treatment. If you have never been told before that you have gum disease despite regular check ups and now you have lost four teeth for that reason there is a problem of trust about whether the diagnosis and management of your condition is or has been adequate. For that reason I advice you to seek advice from other dentist or better a periodontist(gum specialist) to confirm the current state of your gums and to optimize the chances that the management of your disease is carried out in the most effective way.
