Will I be able to eat normally with a crown on my front tooth?

I steer patients away from eating hard foods such as apples, nuts, etc with crowned teeth that have had a root canal.  I feel that over time these types of foods can weaken the root structure on a compromised tooth, potentially  leading to early failure of that tooth.  Softer foods, such as sandwiches and burgers  are all fine to eat.  Good luck. 

The answer is "yes", most of the time.  However, remember that the tooth has had a lot of damage with the fracture and root canal, so it is certainly weaker than a normal tooth.  Thus, it is more susceptible to breakage if overloaded with forces again.  I would advise that you eat and chew normally, however USE GOOD JUDGMENT!  Don't tax or overload the tooth any more than necessary.  If your tooth breaks underneath, it may end up being unrestorable and would require either an implant with crown or bridge.  So the bottom line is be careful, use your other teeth more than the new crowned tooth, and with some good dentistry and luck your crown should serve and protect your remaining tooth for years to come.

I would recommend using caution when eating hard foods or foods that require you to use your teeth as tools, such as to separate the meat from a rib bone. Your front tooth has been restored likely very well but because it has had a root canal and been crowned it will never be as strong as a vital healthy tooth so using some caution will increase the longevity of the crown and tooth.
