I bit on the fork while eating and chipped my front tooth - how can I repair this tooth? (Photos)

Question

Thank you in advance for your expert opinions and time. Unfortunately, I accidently bit on my fork while eating, which caused me to chip my front right tooth. The chip does not injure or scratch my lips or tongue when I eat or talk, but I can notice it when I look in the mirror. Also, the chip is more noticeable if I tilte my head down and check it from above. What procedures would you recommend for me, please?

you have two options, as the chipped portion is tiny.
1. Go for a veneer on that tooth.
If you do not want to go with option 1.
2. The best, non-invasive and economic option is to create mamelons on that and neighbouring teeth. 
Your tooth's incisal edge is flat, so it is possible to mask this by creating a mamelon effect.
