Can I still get a tooth crowned?

I had an accident with my teeth 3 years ago. Fractured 14 teeth, 2 root canals, 4 pulled, now one of my teeth I had a root canal done on had a temporary filling. Due to my insurance running out and no job with insurance I was unable to afford the crown. Now I finally have dental insurance and want to get a crown on this tooth- Can I? My old dentist wanted to pull it, I can't afford to be missing anymore teeth. I want to keep MY teeth.

You should be able to get a crown at any time as long as the tooth is still "good" if it is loose, has an infection, or is starting to decay (get a cavity), it either needs to come out or get fixed first.
