As long as the nail growth zone(some mm behind the cuticle) is OK, the nail should grow back. If there's serious damage to that area, the nail may not grow back at all, come back deformed, or only partially.

But even if everything is OK, it can take some months before you see it at all, and a full year for complete replacement.
