I no longer have enough bone left (espcieally after the implants I HAVE were done, OMG dental surgeons are like the BRUTISHIST. I know, because I was awake during ALL the surgeries, no opiates for me either. Every time I went in for work, I looked like a battered spouse, for reals. He did not hold back because I was awake, but he did tell me I was the best dental patient EVER because I just lay there, and thought about what would happen if I didn''t do it awake. LOL.
I feel your pain. I really do.
