Repaired chipped tooth is too short. (photo)

Asked By:rmc28 in London, GB

I chipped my tooth a year ago and my dentist used herculite to bridge the gap. I'm very self conscious that the repaired tooth is much shorter and also slanted. Another dentist (whom I saw when my regular dentist was away) said the only option is to shave the other tooth though I fear this could go wrong and worsen the appearance. Any further advice?
