Abstract
Dental implants are increasingly viewed as a preferred treatment option for tooth replacement, yet gaps remain in patient knowledge, attitudes, and cost perceptions. This cross-sectional, in vitro study surveyed 150 adults aged 20-60 to assess their awareness, attitudes, and perceived costs of dental implants. Results show that while 70% of patients are aware of implants, only 30% understand the procedure. Though 60% expressed interest in implants, 45% perceived them as too expensive. Positive attitudes correlated with greater awareness, highlighting the need for enhanced education on the benefits and financial options associated with implants.
