Have A Dent In The Tooth Due To A Hit

Ok I went to the dentist over wisdom tooth issues however, I brought up a curiosity. About 3 years ago my brother punched me in the face and I chipped off a good nub of a front tooth of mine. However, as the years went by i ignored it. Just about 8-10 months ago I noticed it grew back I know this because my tooth looks normal instead of having a dent in it. Could you explain this to me or talk to me about this??
