Will margins cause odor around crowns? Are my crowns properly placed? (photos)

lawyerpaigeNov 16, 2021
I’ve had a continuous odor and bad taste coming from my upper crowns that I had placed three years ago. The odor started immediately. I’ve had numerous visits and conversations with my dentist who claims there is nothing wrong. I’ve never had a problem prior to this. I had 6 crowns placed on my upper teeth.

You should see a dentist. If the crown is not sealing correctly over the tooth there is no protection and it can cause decay under the crown.

From what you can see in the photos, with minimally invasive veneers would be enough, since theposition of your teeth is adequate, in addition to eliminating all factors that can continue to increasethe erosion.
