Dr. Golden’s membership in IABDM means she practices with a focus on biological dental medicine, choosing biocompatible materials, avoiding unnecessary toxins, and integrating oral health with systemic wellness.
Ghanaati Education
Ghanaati Education was founded by Professor Shahram Ghanaati, MD, DDS, PhD, an internationally recognized oral and maxillofacial surgeon, researcher, and educator. The program focuses on regenerative surgical techniques, advanced jawbone diagnostics, Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH), and the biological principles that support long-term healing following tooth extraction and oral surgery.
Why this matters to you:
Dr. Golden is a Certified ARENA-Protocol® Center and has completed advanced training in Professor Ghanaati’s regenerative surgical methods.

The BioDentist Way™
The BioDentist Way™ is an advanced training and certification program that teaches dentists how to integrate whole-body health principles into everyday dental care. The curriculum includes biological dentistry, ozone therapy, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), laser applications, inflammation management, and the connection between oral health and overall wellness.
Why this matters to you:
Dr. Golden’s certification in The BioDentist Way™ reflects her commitment to continually expanding her knowledge and staying at the forefront of health-focused dentistry. Patients benefit from treatment approaches that consider not only the condition of their teeth and gums, but also how oral health may influence healing, inflammation, immune function, and overall well-being.
American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH)
AAOSH is a leading interdisciplinary organization dedicated to bridging the gap between oral health and whole-body wellness. It brings together dentists, physicians, and allied health professionals to advance education and clinical integration around the oral-systemic connection — including inflammation, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, airway disorders, and more.
Why this matters to you:
Dr. Golden’s affiliation with AAOSH reflects her commitment to treating the mouth as part of the whole body. You can trust that every diagnosis and treatment she offers is informed by the latest research on how oral health affects — and is affected by — your overall systemic health.
The Institute for Biological Dentistry (IBD)
The Institute for Biological Dentistry focuses on advancing clinical understanding of oral health through a biological, systems-based lens. Its educational programs emphasize biocompatible dental materials, inflammation awareness, oral–systemic connections, and evidence-informed approaches to diagnosis and treatment planning.
Why this matters to you:
Through her affiliation with IBD, Dr. Golden stays current with biologically aligned dental principles that look beyond symptoms to underlying causes. This perspective supports more thoughtful material choices, gentler interventions, and care that respects how oral health influences the entire body.
American Academy of Physiological Medicine & Dentistry (AAPMD)
AAPMD focuses on the collaboration between dentistry and medicine to ensure optimal airway growth, sleep health, nutrition and inflammation control.
Why this matters to you:
As a member of AAPMD, Dr. Golden integrates strategies that go beyond traditional dentistry, considering how nasal breathing, sleep and systemic inflammation relate to your oral health.
CleanImplant Foundation
The CleanImplant Foundation is an international nonprofit dedicated to improving patient safety by testing dental implants for hidden contaminants like plastic particles or toxic residues, even in “sterile” packaging.
Why this matters to you:
Dr. Golden is a certified CleanImplant provider, meaning every implant she places meets the highest standards for sterility, surface cleanliness, and biocompatibility, reducing inflammation risk and supporting faster, safer healing.
Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions (DAMS)
DAMS is a non‑profit that educates the public about the health risks of dental amalgam fillings and advocates for mercury‑free biological dentistry.
Why this matters to you:
Dr. Golden’s alignment with DAMS reinforces her dedication to eliminating mercury exposure in her practice, offering you safer alternatives and informed treatment decisions.
Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC)
MRC is the organization behind the Myobrace® system: a preventive treatment system addressing breathing, tongue posture, airway function, and jaw development.
Why this matters to you:
Dr. Golden’s certification and use of MRC’s methods means she is equipped to address underlying functional issues (such as airway and jaw development) that impact dental health, not just isolated tooth treatments.
Why Your Choice of Dentist Affiliations Matters
Choosing a dentist with strong professional affiliations means you’re getting more than standard care. It means you’re trusting someone who keeps learning, follows rigorous protocols, and places your whole‑body wellness first. At Golden Dental Biologics, each of these organizations helps ensure that everything — from implant selection to safe material use and systemic health integration — is thoughtfully managed and patient‑centered.
