I do not know about the breath some odors are normal but I do not know
about cat urine perhaps because i do not own a cat.

I do not understand the 12mm crown there is no such descriptions for
crowns.
perhaps and more likely the 12mm is the length of the implant that will
go into the socket to replace tooth #5.
Glad you do not need the sinus lift.

pontics is what we call the fake tooth on a bridge that replaces the
missing tooth. Ovate pontics are a new kind of design for a pontic in
which the bottom of it is oval and sits deep in the extraction site
mimicing the root of the fake tooth. It turns out that these pontics
are very easy to clean under with floss due to the convex surface, they
are also most natural looking. Ridge lap or modified ridge lap are the
more traditionals designs for pontic the underneath portion is concave
and these sit over the gums or ridge. They overlap over the ridge vs
ovate that sit inside the middle of the ridge. In the old days there
was a belief with bridge work you needed to have lots of space for
access so that the bridge  can be cleaned easily. Problem is most
patients do not floss after eating and food stays under  the bridge for
hours sometimes pinching the tissues. Ovate pontics are much closer to
natural teeth and they are surrounded by gum tissue intimately thus not
allowing a space for food to get trapped in the first place. They still
need to be cleaned but when they are cleaned there is less crap to
remove. It's a different way on thinking that led to this design.

Stay out of the litter box.
