If you have a backup, then you can restore it (Note that you should have created that table before backup). or Just Recreate it

Or restore to a new temporary database, copy the table & data across to your main database, and then Drop the temporary database.

If you are running a TLog backup (i.e. Recovery Model is NOT set to Simple) you could make a transaction backup and then restore your previous full backup, all intervening transaction backups, AND the additional Transaction backup you just made, but ONLY up to the point-in-time just before the table was dropped.
