"I Do Not Taste Anything after Implants"

A 59-year-old Asian lady, who did not like a lower partial, can eat with 3 implant crowns, but her chief complaint is as shown in the title.  It must be metallic taste.  It is the first case among my patients.  The panoramic X-ray is taken 25 months post cementation for #30 and 13 months post resin bonding for #18 and 19.  It is my routine to have supragingival margin.  Is the latter related to no taste?  Water pik will be recommended.  Any other recommendation?
