Im 15 and all my teeth are adult teeth, and when i was playing basketball my tooth got chiped from the metal net, so about 1/5 of my tooth is missing, and its quite noticable. Will it grow back? Or at least smooth out? It looks choppy.

Nope it will not grow anymore. You best bet is to go to the dentist and get it capped.
Just wondering ... how did you get your tooth chipped by the metal net? Its really high isnt it?

No, it won't grow back. You need to see a dentist because you've lost part of the outside enamel which may cause your tooth to decay down the road. Also, a dentist can fix it so the chip disappears!

It will never grow back. Smoothing this rough part or adding tooth colored material to it may be in order.
