Is it possible to fix a very small chip in a front tooth using composite bonding without drilling away the remaining enamel?

LilS2
I have a very minor chip in my front tooth caused by an fall earlier today. My teeth are already a bit shorter than I'd like. I am definitely not willing to undergo drastic procedures like veneers to lengthen them; I just don't want them to become any shorter! I wear a night guard and have not had any problems with grinding since I started using it a few years ago. Is there any way to use just bonding without drilling to fill in a very small chip (less than 1mm) on the edge of an incisor?
