Is it common to have a cap put on when a tooth has been chipped?

Q. My daughter fell down and chipped the bottom of one of ehr front teeth. The dentist filed it down and is now recommending a cap put on next week. Is this common?,
A. Without looking at the tooth it is diffficuilt to say, if it is a small chip it can usually be repaired with a composite bonding material (white filling). I would only place a crown or veneer if the chip was to large to fill.
