Yes: If there has not been any significant loss of tooth structure since the original root canal therapy was performed and your tooth is asymptomatic, you should be able to have a crown placed on the tooth. Your dentist can provide you with a more definitive answer after evaluating you.

Yes: Every situation is different but generally a crown for tooth protection is recommended much sooner after root canal completion!

Good advice: Depending upon the alignment of the wisdom teeth, especially if one is right next to the tooth needing the crown, it is sound advice to get them out first. The wisdom tooth might have been creating a periodontal issue (bone support) around the to-be-crowned tooth or had been tipped into it. Good advice.
