Dr. Zack Finnegan,
DMD
Dr. Finnegan practices comprehensive dentistry with an emphasis on clear options, comfort, and measured pacing. He believes a good dental visit ends with you understanding what you saw, what your choices are, and what comes next.
Why I chose dentistry
I liked the idea of work that requires precision but changes how people feel every day. Dentistry lets me build relationships over time, which is the part of the work I love most. The clinical side has to be excellent, but the human side is what makes a practice worth coming back to.
How I practice
Evidence-based, patient-first. We start with your story and a thorough exam, then I show you what I am seeing on screen. I outline your options, explain the trade-offs in everyday words, and put costs in writing before anything starts. If watching something is the right call, I will say so. If a specialist is the better fit, I will say that too.
Training & background
DMD, University of Louisville School of Dentistry
Serving Woodstock, GA since 2024
Ongoing training across comprehensive restorative care, airway-focused dentistry, and clear aligner therapy.
What I love clinically
I love comprehensive care: looking beyond a single tooth to see how your bite, gums, airway, and habits all fit together. I am especially interested in airway dentistry because improving how you breathe can change how you sleep, focus, and feel.
Life in Woodstock
My family and I moved here from Louisville, Kentucky. Most of my time off is spent with my wife and daughters. Otherwise, I am outdoors or catching a movie. I like running into patients around town, Woodstock feels like home.

As a new customer of Magnolia Smiles, I am very satisfied with the service provided by Dr. Finnegan and staff. During the service it was determined that one tooth needed a root canal. I decided to get it done now and Dr. Finnegan contacted Cherokee Endodontics and secured a same-day appointment. Overall, this was exceptional service.![]()

If I could give 10 stars, I would! My experience at Magnolia Smiles was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was greeted by Jessica who did nothing but greet me with pure joy. What a beautiful soul she is. Then Laura, the office manager, was so polite and kind and her smile is truly contagious. After my cleaning, Dr. Finnegan came in for my exam and explained everything in depth. He showed me my X-rays so I could actually see and understand exactly what needed to take place. I have never had a doctor take the time to explain things so clearly. Julia, his assistant, is just a beautiful, kind soul in every way. This office is truly one of a kind. The whole team makes you feel welcomed, cared for, and at ease. I will recommend Magnolia Smiles to anyone looking for the best dental office in Woodstock!![]()

In less than an hour, I went from unbearable pain to big smiles—with a specialist referral and appointment already secured. Sabrina, if you’re reading this, thank you. You are truly a blessing! Dr. Finnegan, you’ve set a new personal standard for compassionate dental care, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would start and end a search for a dental practice at Magnolia Smiles! Thank you, thank you, thank you ✨✨✨
