Igrew up in a small town in Wisconsin. After graduating High School I came to the twin cities for my undergraduate work and Dental School. I chose to interrupt my schooling for two years to serve as a missionary for my church in southern Britain. My schooling was later interrupted for a year to serve with the Army National Guard in Iraq.
While attending school in the Cities I met my wife Molly. We have been married for thirteen wonderful years. We have three daughters named Quinn, Georgia, and Kajsa and a son named Soren. We also have a really fat cat named Boo.
I love being a dentist. Every morning I am excited to come into work. I love helping people improve their quality of life and enjoy dentistry's emphasis on preventing disease. I feel it a great privilege to work with the fine staff at North Branch Dental and be a part of the local community.
I grew up in Maple Grove, Minnesota. After graduating high school, I attended the University of St. Thomas, where I majored in neuroscience and psychology. It was here, in organic chemistry lab that I met my beautiful wife and best friend, Kaija. One of the most amazing opportunities I had before graduating was spending time in the Philippines doing marine biology research and getting to know the culture. After finishing my undergraduate degree, I attended the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Go Gophers!
I feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. My wife and I have a daughter and two sons. We also have three fur children: 2 crazy dogs and 1 very mischievous cat. Im hoping to stay a 3 pet household for a while, but my wife, who is a veterinarian, seems to have other ideas. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, skiing, mountain biking, and any other sport that keeps me active. I wish I enjoyed home maintenance and remodeling more because I find myself doing this quite often. Our family loves to spend time together outdoors, and our favorite activities are hiking and camping.
I have always been drawn to dentistry and love what I do. Being a dentist gives me the privilege of working with my hands to improve patients smiles as well as their dental health. It also gives me the opportunity to truly get to know patients and their families. Developing these relationships is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. My wife, Kaija, who grew up on a hobby farm between Cambridge and North Branch, initially introduced me to the area. I feel lucky to be working in such a great community, with a fantastic dental team. Back to Team

I highly recommend Dr. Youngner and his assistant Jenny. I did Invisalign Lite at this office and am very happy with my results. Very clean office, knowledgeable with a patient and kind staff. I felt that all questions I had were answered before I even asked them!

Best dentist experience I've ever had! Bailey was gentle and tried to make things as comfortable as possible for me. I was even gifted a coffee mug at the end. Book your next dentist appt here - you won't regret it!

Dr. Archibald and Gerri-Ann are my very favorite team, not to mention the rest of the amazing staff. I could honestly go on all day about how this is the #1 dental office in the history of dentistry. Instead, I will leave my 5 stars even though they deserve 10. Thank you so much!

Exceptionally clean and profesaional. It was a very comfortable setting and was very relaxed during my procedure. I have visited 2 times and both were very pleasant. If you would like to have a kind and caring dentist, visit North Branch Denat.

Bailey is so nice and always cleans my teeth so well. The ladies at the front counter are so nice to talk to, and to help with any insurance or billing questions. And, the Dentists are friendly and knowledgeable. North Branch Dental is just an all-around great place to go, even for this fraidy cat!

Calling around trying to find a clinic who accepts MA when I came across this place. They do not accept MA at the time of this review BUT the receptionist stayed on the line and helped me find a clinic who would. When the rest of the local clinics basically hung up on me. So as I cannot speak for their specific dental care, I can express my appreciation for the kindness and help that they showed me.

Had another wonderful experience at North Branch Dental! Melissa always takes the extra time to explain everything and does a great job besides! I'll be moving to a new city 100 miles away soon, but still plan on returning for my dentistry needs. Thanks!

I recently changed to North Branch Dental, and I am so happy that I did! Everyone - from the front office coordinators to the hygienists to the doctors - at this office is wonderful, welcoming, and helpful. I really appreciate how they explained everything throughout my visit, from the cleaning, to the procedures, to the billing. I highly recommend North Branch Dental!

North Branch Dental has been taking care of our large family for over a decade-five children with varying degrees of dental needs: cleanings, filings, crowns, root canals, Invisalign, extractions and a slew of sports injuries. Dr. Jeff Archibald makes it easy. The entire staff is knowledgeable, kind, professional and mindful of how scary the dentist can be for so many people. As a former Mayor of North Branch, NB Dental remains a strong, committed community partner. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. KHK

I have to say first off, who enjoys going to the Dentist? Not me. I have great anxiety each time - although the staff is always so welcoming, kind and understanding My anxiety is no reflection on the excellent care I always receive from the front desk to being back in the chair. Dr. Younger and his assistant John are sure to always explain the procedure in detail and put my fears to rest, making me feel secure. Do we like going to the dentist?? No. But I sure know I'm in good hands at North Branch Dental if it's necessary to go.

My wife & I were referred to Dr. Archibald and his team. We have had exceptional service. They get you in right away. They explain their estimates and they refund you if you have over paid. We refer North Branch Dental any chance we get.

I've been to a lot of different dentists and have had many mediocre experiences. North Branch Dental is now my forever clinic! They're simply amazing. Kind, gentle, clean, and professional! I'll never see another dentist again.
