Could I get a composite placed on my right canine? (Photos)

katerosehips
I had a small chip right next to the very tip of my right canine tooth and had it smoothed out. This made the tooth extremely round whereas the left canine is very pointy and sharp. I went back and the dentist shaped it to be pointy. Now the canine I had work on is much shorter and I am having sensitivity. It has been 3 weeks. Could they put a small composite on my canine to help match the length a bit better? Sensitivity and mismatch in length is bothering me.
