You can consult dentist...if it is a small part that is chipped off, it can be filled with a composite restoration, which re builds the lost tooth exactly

The chipped portion can be built up using a ceramic filling. It is important to protect the tooth and treat as soon as possible. Advisable to consult a dentist asap
