The best time to crown a tooth after a root canal is immediately. The fact of the matter is that I typically wait until symptoms calm down. Sometimes the root canal procedure can cause the tooth to be achy. As soon as the tooth settles down I like to get a crown on the tooth because the temporary filling that the dentist places after root canal treatment has a good chance of leaking sooner than later.
