Hi there!! As mentioned your tooth is slightly chipped off  so you can consider various options to restore your smile such as... 1)Non invasive(without the need of further tooth preparation) method  which includes restoration with tooth colored composites. 2) Minimally invasive method which includes slight preparation of tooth enamel to receive a shell like layer  which is pasted on to your tooth surface to give it an even shape. These are laminates/veneers. 3) Most invasive method which includes preparation of tooth to a greater extent.. These are full coverage crowns which are cemented on to your teeth.It has various types like all ceramic crowns and porcelain fused to metal crowns.
Next Steps
Need to visit your dentist to discuss all these options and to consider various pros and cons of all .
Health Tips
If it's a small corner which has chipped off then getting it build up with composites (option 1) would be an ideal choice.
