The tooth must be evaluated to see if a crown is the correct treatment. If it is a crown is usually 2 visits. The first the tooth is prepared for the crown and a temporary crown is placed until the laboratory makes the permanent crown. The 2 ND visit the permanent crown is cemented on the tooth. This can be a week to 2 week wait for the permanent crown to be made.
Some dentists are equipped to make crowns in one or two days depending on the condition of the tooth. Some can take anywhere from two weeks to a month. Dentists who are equipped with digital scans and millers can do it the shortest time Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
Thank you for asking the question! Typically, it takes about anywhere from 5 to ten business days for an "out side " dental laboratory to fabricate a crown. Nowadays, some dental offices has the " In house " 3 D crown printing machine, in which you can get your crown seated literally in the same day. We used to have the 3D crown printinf machine " in house". However, due to the high maintennce cost, we get rid of it. Blessings to you!
There are three steps to getting a crown: 1. The preparation of the tooth for crown. 2. An impression of the prepared tooth 3. The delivery of the crown The time it takes for the delivery of the crown is determined by if the following factors: A. Is the crown made in the office , which means the crown could be delivered on the same day. B. Is the crown made at a dental laboratory which could take a longer period of time. I hope this helps.

Immediately you should see a dentist for an exam and get the crown if it can be done.
Do you mean if you need a root canal first? If not then no need to wait for anything just have a crown placed
