I have expensive implants and my dentist put on crowns on it. I had one came out this week. Now I have to go back to my dentist to paste it one again. Is it common?

around my area- dentist do not use the strongest cement available to seat crowns on the implant abutments just in case something ever happens to the implant.
it is absolutely not a big deal at all. a minor appt and you are back together in no time!
good luck

Well, the crown is either put on an abutment that's screwed into the implant or the crown is attached by a screw.
Either ways there's a screw holding the crown, and screws do get loos sometimes (6 - 12 % of single implants experience that problem according to research).
Also rarely the crown only come out from the abutment if it is cemented on it which also happen.
It's a simple problem .. don't worry.. ok!!

You might be a night grinder. If you grind your teeth at night it can knock off your crown. Ask your dentist about a bite guard.

Not common, but does happen. I know that it does not feel good.

If the work is not done properly, yes
