If it is from injury (smashing) another one will grow back from way up underneath the nail bed. Its not a pretty thing until it grows out fully and can take months, up to a year. Some doctors will advise to take selenium supplements during the regrowth.

Depends a bit on why and howit came off. But usually nails will grow back.

If the growth zone of the nail (slightly behind the cuticle) is basically OK, the nail will grow back, but it can take almost a full year before it's reached normal size and shape again.

If the growth zone is damaged, then the nail might come back deformed.

Thicker, cloudy, wavy or anything like that.

It may eventually return to normal, or it may always be strange.

If the growth zone is really badly damaged, or entirely missing, the nail might not come back at all.
