I will have a root canal procedure. Can you put a filling over a root canal?

Depends on the amount of the tooth structure left, root canal treatment makes the tooth brittle and liable to cracks and fracture more than the vital teeth, crowns are recommended but filling can be done in some cases
Yes, should seal the root canal tooth immediately.
Yes you need to get permanent filling over the root canal and full coverage restoration as well in most cases.
