Eventually, yes: If the carious lesion is that deep, then the tooth may require root canal therapy first. Better to treat the problem before the crown is placed.

How long can I wait to have a cavity filled? I have a hole in a molar that i'm pretty sure is a cavity, but my next dentist appointment is three months away, and my insurance only covers two check-up visits a year. Is it okay to wait the three months?
