I would be patient with it until the socket where the tooth used to be closes up completely. You can't declare solid victory nor defeat until it does.

That the socket doesn't smell anymore is a good sign, but trust me, it may again on and off in the future until it seals up completely. Please also watch that food is not getting stuck in there. For the first few weeks after extraction you have to use a syringe to blast food debris out of the socket so it doesn't rot in there and stink up the place. It may do that in any case though...so hang in there.
