That depends on the status of your bite (occlusion). One has to also find out what caused the two teeth to be uneven. It could also be caused by the the mis-alignment of the opposing lower teeth.

Better to lengthen the short tooth with bonding or veneer if occlusion permits, and the final result is cosmetically pleasing.
