Might be. My Dad never got his. The dentist said they just never came up.? I've seen his X-says. and you see a crown below the gum line. Mine came in to the rear! I went to my family dentist (I was 40 and he was about to retire). He said come back in a week or so if they don't expell on theirown. They did! He didn't charge me. I had a dental plan at where I worked.
