The root canal can be single sitting or a 3 sitting treatment depending upon the extent of infection. Yes, it is good for long run, the root canal helps in infection treatment and the crown protects the tooth from fracture since a root canal treated tooth is brittle in nature and can break withstanding masticatory ( chewing) pressure.
The cost ranges between 1500 to 5000 for a root canal and crown costs from 1500 to 12000
