I am a 41 year old male. I want to know how long after root canal do you get a crown?

As soon as possible, one or two weeks if you can...when it is fully asymptomatic (no pain at all).
ASAP
Provided there are no symptoms.
Provided there are no symptoms.
Sooner is better, normally within 4 weeks though.
Immediately. If not then no longer than one month
Ideally, you should get a crown within 1-4 weeks after getting a root canal. However, many factors can affect the timing. Generally speaking, as soon as possible is best.
Ideally, a tooth that has had a root canal should be crowned as soon as the postoperative pain has resolved, which is usually between 1-2 weeks. If the tooth has a temporary filling, it may be more vulnerable to fracture or reinfection. Best not to wait longer than 2 months to get the crown after the root canal to avoid these possible complications.
