It depends on the extent and depth of the chipped off area. If you don't have any sign and symptoms, you may consider having the cavity re-filled with filling materials like amalgam or composite , or you may choose a more durable way of fixing the tooth, which is the inlay.

For normal filling, it can be finished in one dental visit. But for inlay , it takes two.

For the treatment fee, inlay is in general more expensive than a simple filling
