So I notice that my top front Incisor is chipped, you could say on the bottom right side. here is a graphical interpretation : ___- anyway can I get this fixed ? I hear that they either cap it or shave the rest of the tooth down to match it. Any ideas ?

Depends how bad its chipped

If its not too bad, they can shape it and put a cap on.
Or, they pull it out, drill a metal post into the jaw and give you an implant.

It's not bad at all, maybe less than a mm down from the rest of the tooth. Do you think it would be covered by dental?
