Dr. Mitchell Beinlich
Background and Education
Dr. Mitch was born in Minnesota, grew up in Hudson, Wisconsin, and now calls Minneapolis home. He considers himself a true “Minnesconsinite.” During his time in Hudson, he spent time with his friends playing hockey and football, which he played in college as a freshman, but decided to focus his time and energy on his schoolwork.
Dr. Mitch attended the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse where he received his Bachelor of Science in Biology with an emphasis on biomedical and a chemistry minor. While in college, Dr. Mitch went on a dental mission trip with students and faculty from Marquette University School of Dentistry to continue efforts to provide access to dental care for the people of Antigua and its neighboring towns. He received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Marquette University School of Dentistry, where he met his wife, Dr. Madeline Beinlich, a general dentist in the Twin Cities area. Dr. Mitch also participated in research on Early and Severe Early Childhood Caries, which was published in the Journal of Pediatric Dentistry in 2019.
After graduating from Dental school, Dr. Mitch worked at Community Dental Care in Maplewood, MN while applying for pediatric residencies. In January of 2021, he matched to Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon, where he and his wife moved right after their wedding in June of 2021. They spent two wonderful years in the pacific northwest before returning home to be closer to family.
When not in the clinic, you can probably find Dr. Mitch looking at sneakers, learning more about coffee, watching sports, hanging with his family, or a combination of all of the above. He loves to spend time in northern Wisconsin with his family at their cabin, or “camp” as they call it. Oh yea, he’s also Dr. Tyler’s brother.
Additional Training
Dr. Mitch is trained in basic life support/CPR and pediatric advanced life support. His pre-doctoral research dealt with early and severe childhood caries. In residency, he focused his research on sugar substitutes, particularly the rare sugar allulose, which is a natural sugar found in foods like wheat or raisins, that only contributes a fraction of the calories that regular sugar does while maintaining most of the sweetness. Dr. Mitch is eligible to take the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry oral examination in the fall of 2024.
Practice Philosophy
Dr. Mitch aims to create great dental patients through positive experiences and prevention of cavities. The most important thing for him while seeing patients is that kids are safe and comfortable. Dr. Mitch doesn’t like to hear when people say they “hate the dentist” and believes that this sentiment typically comes from a poor experience while younger, so his goal is to help create more patients who love the dentist!
I was nervous about the "unknowns" of tongue tie, and why breastfeeding was so painful for me. Dr. Darcy and her amazing staff are warm, welcoming and professional from the start! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time.
St. Croix KiddsToday, I took all three of my kids here. My middle has had horrible experiences at the dentists and hates going, but they made him so comfortable.

Riverdale KiddsMy toddler actually likes going to the dentist! I don't know if it's the way they talk to him, how the office is sooo kid friendly (movies, horse saddle, etc), or the fact he knows he gets a brand new toothbrush and toy to pick himself!
New Richmond KiddsDr. Megan and her team at New Richmond were amazing today! My son had to have sedation dental work completed. They were understanding of my sons needs and took great care of mom as well.
