I chipped both of my front upper incisors in a half moon shape in January last year. The chip is small and I think only a small bit of the dentin is exposed. Tooth sensitivity is there when feeling the affected teeth with the tongue but not that bad. I I can drink cold or hot drinks without issues. I'm deciding on what is the best and longest lasting option to repair both teeth.
Thinking of gold capping the chipped teeth using 18K gold dental alloy.

Is this the best option to repair chipped tooth?
Is this a common procedure locally?
What is the approximate cost for this procedure?

A crown would mean cutting your tooth all around and significantly reducing your tooth structure just to bond the crown.
Cost of the gold crown relies alot on the price of gold. You're expecting perhaps around 5k for it.

I'll think about it. Maybe get a temporary cosmetic gold crown cover to see how it looks before irreversibly getting permanent gold crowns? Not many people can really pull off looking good with gold teeth. It certainly puts Vijay Sethupathi's character as Santhanam onto another level.
