Lost cap

I lost a cap from front upper middle.
How long will it take to get a replacement if I call tomorrow?

Dental labs can do rush jobs, and some places can probably get a crown done within a day or so. Your dentist would be able to tell you whether their lab can pull this off or not. Keep in mind that rush jobs can cost a bit extra. Some dental clinics can do the CAD/CAM type CEREC type crowns within the same visit so that might be another option. Typically though most non-rush jobs take about 1 week or two.
