    Hey go to your dentist and ask the question, your situation may be more complex than a filling or a crown or two.
    Good luck

    Depends what caused the chip; trauma from an accident, or trauma from your bite. Anything that breaks/wears a tooth, will break/wear a filling/veneer/crown.
    Cosmetically, the asymmetry(& lower tooth) is more obvious than the gap tbh, but that's a personal preference, everyones' ideal of beauty is different.
    See a dentist for a checkup/consultation& you'll have a bit more info to go on.

    looking at that pic, I would be looking into orthodontics, go to a general dentists and see what the story is.

    A capping will be required. I had a sports injury in 2005. The capping had to be replaced today so I got a good innings from it! How ever, I have roughness on the surface of the tooth as a result of the replacement. I rang dentist and was told it was acid from the treatment and it will go in a few days.... Fingers crossed :-(
