Absolutely. In general, it's best to have a tooth that's had root canal therapy, especially a posterior (back) tooth, crowned as soon as possible to avoid having it break or fracture. Failing to do this could result in loss of the tooth.

How long do you wait for a crown after a root canal Molar?

After a root canal on a molar, you typically wait about 1 to 2 weeks for the crown placement. This allows time for any inflammation to subside and for the tooth to stabilize. In some cases, your dentist may place a temporary crown immediately after the root canal while you await the permanent crown. However, the exact timing can vary based on individual circumstances and the dentist's recommendations.


If you had a root canal done 11 months ago with only a temporary filling and you now have braces can you still have the root canal finished?

usually. The braces will not effect the root canal therapy, which should be completed ASAP. Temporary fillings are just that - temporary. They can break down and begin to leak after a certain amount of time. The tooth likely will need a crown after the root canal is completed, in which case the braces may impede the process. At the very least, request a permanent material/filling is placed at the time of root canal completion.
