Yes, you can receive a crown without undergoing root canal treatment. A crown is a tooth restoration process that is done to strengthen and protect the tooth’s structure when it is weakened. It is not solely reserved for post-root canal therapy but is also employed for broken teeth or extensive tooth decay. The need for a root canal treatment first depends on the health of the tooth’s pulp. If the pulp is infected or damaged, root canal therapy may be necessary before placing a crown. However, if the damage is confined to the tooth enamel or dentin, a crown alone may suffice to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
