Is it normal to see black dots on the inside part of my newly fitted crown?

Q. I had a porcelain crown with gold on the inside, fitted to my upper molar. When I got home I noticed 2tiny blackish dots on the inside part of the crown, near the bottom. Since it’s not on the outside visible side of the crown I don’t care about the appearance. I am very worried that the dentist perforated the surface(yet it feels completely smooth) while attempting to fit it better to my mouth and bite line, and therefore weakened the crown. When I notified her of this she said that it was just the gold part peeking through and not to worry. I’m afraid she is not being entirely truthful. None of my other crowns have this marking. Help!!,
A. It is likely that your dentist is telling the truth but to put your worries to rest you might seek a second opinion
