It may or may not require a RE-RCT. An x-ray will confirm that. If RCT done is proper then crown can be placed easily.
Next Steps
visit to a dentist and get an xray done

dear sir,
if there is no pain in tooth or any kind of sensitivity then you can directly go for crown.
for front teeth e max crowns are best option if structure of tooth is in good condition.

A good xray will reveal condition of tooth and bone. Thereafter a crown can decided upon

If the tooth is asymtomatic, and has not changed colour, and looks fine when you smile, you may not also need a re root canal, maybe even a crown. If you do preferably go for a full ceramic Emax crown and not a zirconia / Metal ceramic crown. Go to a dentist who has a idea of ideal anterior shade matching.

when you will visit a dentist they will take an x-ray and check whether the RCT is proper or not, if not then re-rct is done and then will do the crown.

If that tooth is intact and symptomless, then you ll not need re rct. Just crown will be enough.

If there are no symptoms we can safely assume that the RCT is doing fine till now..... but still it would be better to go for a simple x-ray before proceeding with the procedure for the Crown..... the total time depends upon the lab cost which is variable for different types of Crowns, which may take from 2 to 4 working days.....

Hello Sir
Greetings of the day. If the tooth does not have any pain only a crown will be enough. But in case it has any pain a x-ray should be taken to stay in the safer side. The cost of the crowns vary from type to type and the minimum procedure time will be 5-6 days including the dentist time and the lab time.
