Crowns
Crowns don't have any special odor or taste to them, and once in place for a few days you really shouldn't notice they are there. As far as bad breath or halitosis, crowns won't cause it but not keeping them clean will. If plaque is allowed to build up on the crowns then there could be a bad taste or odor (or decay that can cause a crown to fail). The fit of a crown is more the result of the ability and care taken by the dentist and lab than of one type of crown over the other...

Dental crowns
Dental crowns neither have an odor nor cause halitosis or bad breath. Common causes of bad odor coming from the mouth include severe decay and infection of the gums. Brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash twice a day should prevent bad breath. It also helps to gently brush the tongue.
There are crowns that are made only of porcelain or of metal, while others are made of porcelain fused to metal. All porcelain crowns are more esthetic, but all...

Crowns and Bad Breath
Crowns do not cause bad breath. Halitosis is the result of plaque and bacteria building up in the mouth. It may also be caused by untreated oral infections such as gum disease, decay or abcess. If a crown is not properly fitted to the preapared tooth, leaving an open margin, then buildup of bacterial in this opening can also cause halitosis.
Skill of the dentist in preparing the tooth for a crown, accuracy of the impression and skill of the lab technician making the...

Crwons themselves are odorless....
Crowns have no odor to them however if there are spaces between them that harbor bacteria or poor fitting margins that can do the same, an odor can occur.

Can crowns cause bad odor ?
Any space in the mouth that can harbor bacteria and food impaction can cause bad breath. A ill fitting crown, a broken , cracked old filling, too many holes and space in the teeth , under the gum can cause halitosis.
A well made crown will NOT cause bad odor. So any crown when well made wil be odor free however if you do not keep it clean, like the rest of the teeth and gum you will get bad taste, odor , and decay .
My preferance with crowns are all porcelain ones. becuase...

Simply No
A well made crown has no greater chance of causing halitosis than your natural tooth. The key words here are "well-made." It is absolutley necessary to have a very accurate impression or digital scan and a quality lab to accomplish this. A poorly made crown or one that is fabricated using a poor impression will have margins that are much more prone to collecting plaque and bacteria, causing that fowl smell. As far as choices are concerned, you have many in today's...

Best crowns
Your question to the types of crowns and odors is an interesting one. Crowns should not have an odor or smell to them. If this is happening you may want to go back to your dentis and inauir about a new crown. During cementation of the crown you may experience some smell to the agents but it quickly goes away. Otherwise not at all. If however, the crown does not fit well and there becomes a food trap around the crown, an odor can occur simply from the byproduct that bacteria give off from the...

Dental crowns should not have an odor
If a dental crown is made well to fit the tooth, and the patient is keeping the tooth clean by brushing and flossing properly than there should not be any odor.

I think that porcelain does have a smell. I can smell more now that I more inlays crowns. The smell is not like bad breath kind of smell, it is more like the material itself. It is the smell you get when they are drilling on your teeth.
Good day, I had horrible teeth before and now I have a crown on my 6 front teeth, it looks very very beautiful but I am super scared that I have an odor...I cant really ask anyone to smell my breath because it is just embarrassing. Sometimes it seems to me I do have an odor but I do not know how to check myself, the problem is I can seep any liquid through the crown. I am trying to brush my teeth several times a day, flossing, rinsing but still. Is there a way I can get something to help me over the counter from like CVS, etc. Thanks in advance
