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

Question

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.

From the xrays you supplied- It appears there isnt a very good seal or fit at the margins of these crowns.  It would appear that you should get a 2nd opinion with someone that can actually evaluate in your mouth.
