Ans 1 - 5 thousands to 35 thousands but it may variable according to the quality.
Ans 2- You should go for it as soon as possible if it's necessary according to the Doctor.
Ans 3 - These are long lasting provided the procedure is effective.

If it is back tooth then go for PFM crown as it is best in strength and colour matching good though .
Costing around 12k to 15k.
If the tooth is in front then you can choose between zirconia crown/porcelain crown / PFM crown depending upon your pocket as zirconia is double the amount of PFM .

As far as time is concerned ..if the tooth is having no pain ..then go for crown immediately .
As you know it is a dead tooth it can crack anytime without crown so all your RCT will be wasted then .
We always put crown on RCT treated tooth when the tooth is painfree after RCT ..
Thirdly if u are having 1 to 3 crowns of any type in your mouth it wount hinder in MRI machine as they can artifact control settings .
But if they are multiple crowns more than this then they make ask you to get them off .
As none of our material porelian/zirconia/metal has magnetic in it so it wount do any harm .
But best thing is that go and ask the technician whether his machine has artifact control setting in it of metal fused with porcelain .
Its better you call me ill guide you as we do implants so occasionally we are asked by pts that can they have MRi with implants or braces .
So i would like you to call me , ill guide further .

This will be my first crown. I broke my arm during a football match. And now, I have to go through surgery again for removal of the plate, so I need to be careful about any crown which will affect the MRI.
