Sometimes, healing tissue or a bone graft can have a peculiar taste/smell but in general, a healthy mouth is a clean and nice smelling mouth.

A completed single tooth implant is usually a crown over an implant (bone screw) The implant goes into the gum and bone like a natural tooth root. So, while you can't get all the way under it, you should be able to floss and clean around it just like any other natural tooth! Your dental Hygienist is a great resource, after your implant is placed and restored, your dental Hygienist should show you how to take care of it and hook you up with any additional supplies you need to take care of that beautiful implant!!! If you have questions, always ask your restoring dentist!
Best of Luck!
