How long am i suppose to wait between having a root canal and a crown?

Soon: You want to have a crown done as soon as you are free from symptoms from the root canal, usually within a month. Talk to your dentist or endodontist about your particular tooth for the best timeframe for you.

Crown after RCT: Usually it is advisable to wait two weeks after root canal treatment for the final crown to be placed. During this time it is made sure that the tooth is completely asymptomatic and there is no pain or discomfort present on that tooth. That signifies the success of the root canal and at that point a final crown can be placed.

Wait carefully: The best answer is to wait until the tooth has returned to a normal feel. This may take 2 days or 2 months, or in rare cases, never. If the tooth has delayed healing, seek evaluation by an endodontist prior to placing the crown. Always be careful to not overstress the tooth in the meantime, as it would be a shame to have it fracture.
