Sure: Most teeth that have had root canal therapy need a crown due to the amount of tooth structure missing.

Sure: Depending on how much tooth is remaining. You may need a crown. Often the tooth needs a post/core foundation build-up to provide enough structure to support and retain the crown. The post goes into the canal space and helps hold the build-up in place, along with the ramaining tooth. The tooth is then prepared and the crown is then made to fit over the build-up and the tooth structure. Good luck.

Crown front tooth: The answer depends on how much real tooth structure is remaining. If the tooth is vulnerable to breaking than you need a crown to hold the tooth together so the tooth doesn't break beneath the gums which cannot be repaired. If there plenty of tooth still remaining on a front tooth (not back), than i usually don't crown it. Ask your dentist to evaluate.

Of course: Crowns are an ideal way to restore teeth that have been broken, or have been treated by root canal, front or back.
