Chipped a front tooth. Only one was filed and now feels very different from the other front tooth. What can I do? (Photo)

I had the tiniest chip in a front tooth (which I regret not just leaving alone now!). My dentist filled and filed the tooth but it feels so different from my untouched (never filed) tooth. The bottom of the tooth rounds towards the front instead of towards the back like my normal tooth. It doesn't look bad. A bit shorter but it's really how it feels inside my mouth that's bothering me. Do I have the other tooth rounded out so they match? What are my options here? I'm very obsessive compulsive!
