Yes!
My t-scores got worse at every two-year scan since 2010 until 2022 when my lumbar spine improved in a statistically significant way: from -2.5 to -1.9! This is because I have gotten on board with Dr. Susan Brown's Better Bones Program, which is available as a several-day seminar online. I participated in the seminar in January of 2022 and had my Dexa scan in November of the same year. After only 11 months on the Better Bones Program, (albeit, just doing the Program as best I could, not perfectly), I achieved the above improvement! I have secondary osteoporosis due to taking estrogen suppressants to deter breast cancer recurrence and my bone quality is poor as a result. I suffered two fractures in 2018 due to this. Anyhow, I highly recommend looking up the Better Bones Program and Dr. Susan Brown online. You can sign up for her course: "The 6 steps of the Better Bones, Better Body Program" and take it either online, or in person (she offers it at different times during the year and different locations around the country). The six parts are: 1. Assessment of Bone Strength, 2. Development of an Alkaline Diet, 3. Individualized Nutritional Supplementation, 4. Enhance Digestion and Detoxification,5. Exercise into Bone Health, and 6. Stress and Worry Reduction. It costs about $3-400, and it is about 3-4 days of information - worth every penny!!
It sounds like you're already doing a lot right for your bones, but Dr. Brown's vast knowledge of improving bone health without meds will tie it all together for you. I too, have an upcoming tooth implant. At my initial consultation, the oral surgeon said he wished more people knew about the Better Bones Program, as bone meds can interfere with the ability of bone to "seat" the implant. Good luck! and let me know if and when you complete Dr. Brown's Program. It's also a fantastically supportive community!
