Membership in the American Academy of Gold Foil Operators has many rewards. Our membership is dedicated to the use of Direct Gold as an alternative to other materials which may have inferior clinical characteristics. Our group prides itself on our record of educational opportunities for the established practicioner, dental students and dental educators. We hold annual meetings at dental schools and military clinics designed to promote our academy's mission of education in the use of Direct Gold Foil. We have introduced and shared our vision to hundreds of dentists and students over the past 50+ years. Our members are involved in Study Clubs throughout the world that help refine their technique of gold placement. Direct Gold Foil is one of the oldest forms of dental restoration. It is because of it's incredible durability and biological compatability that gold is still the "standard" that all restorations are compared to. It is not uncommon for our members to have patients in their practice who are proud of their fifty year old gold foils.

Active membership in our Academy is achieved by filling out the Application for Membership. Once your application is approved you will have the oppertunity to operate at one of our Annual Meetings.
