Do You Need a Crown After a Root Canal? Here’s What You Should Know


If you’ve recently had a root canal treatment, you might be wondering — “Is a dental crown really necessary afterward?”

The short answer from most dental experts, including Dr. Anshu Gupta at Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh, is yes — in most cases, a crown is strongly recommended after a root canal.


In this blog, we explain why a dental crown is important, when it may not be needed, and what to expect if you’re getting a crown post-root canal.


🦷 Why a Root Canal-Treated Tooth Needs a Crown


When a root canal is performed, the infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. While this saves the tooth, it also:

• Removes blood supply to the tooth

• Makes the tooth brittle and prone to fracture

• Leaves the tooth weaker than before


A dental crown acts like a helmet — it protects the tooth from breaking, especially when chewing or grinding. This is crucial for molars and premolars, which bear the brunt of bite force.


“Most teeth that break after root canals were not protected with a crown. Placing a crown early reduces the risk of future complications.”

– Dr. Anshu Gupta, MDS, PGIMER Chandigarh


🛑 When Might a Crown Not Be Needed?


In some rare cases, a crown may not be immediately required:

• Front teeth (incisors/canines) with minimal bite pressure

• Tooth has enough healthy enamel left

• Cosmetic concerns don’t demand full coverage

• Patient’s budget or treatment timeline


But even in these cases, composite bonding or partial coverage may be needed to strengthen the tooth.


💎 Best Crown Options After Root Canal


At Advanced Dental Care Center, we offer:


Crown Type Best For Lifespan

Zirconia Strong, long-lasting molars 10–15+ years

E.max Ceramic Front teeth (high aesthetics) 10–12 years

PFM Budget-friendly restorations 8–10 years


All our crowns are fabricated using CAD-CAM precision for optimal fit and longevity.


🕒 When Should the Crown Be Placed?


Ideally, the crown should be placed within 1–2 weeks after the root canal. Waiting too long increases the risk of the tooth cracking — which can lead to tooth loss or implant placement.


🤕 What Happens If You Skip the Crown?


Without a crown after a root canal, you risk:

• Tooth fracture or chipping

• Sensitivity and recurrent infection

• Increased need for tooth extraction or implants


Protecting your investment in root canal treatment is only complete when you seal it with a crown.
