Support

Hi

She preferred the idea of dental implants, so she began to work with an alternative dentist to build up
the immune system in her mouth so she would be better able to support the implants.

Does "support" here mean "put up with"?

In my opinion, that's a very poor choice of words. The idea is to say that you need to prepare your immune system in order to prevent rejection of the implants (implants being a foreign body etc).
