Can google spider read dynamically created title and descrip. tags?

Our new optimized meta tags were not hardcoded, but dynamically created. Is that a problem? Description does not show up on google search results.

It doesn't matter if they are dynamically created or hard coded. It matters how you present the tags.

What do you mean "how you present the tags?"
Currently, our tags are optimized: high keyword density and inviting to the average visitor. Should we be doing something else?

As long as it can get to the page, it will spider correctly done tags whether they're dynamically generated or done in regular code.

Usually the problem lies in the code that generates the dynamic text rather than the spider. The spider does not know that they are dynamically generated.
Use "view > source" and check the meta tags of your pages (i.e. the end result) and confirm that the code is generating it properly.
