In 1966, Dr. Andrew Koran founded our practice. Back then, Saline was a much smaller town. Ann Arbor was far away, separated from Saline by miles and miles of family farms. The street out front was a dirt road and kids still attended the old Union School (now a robotics firm) up the street. Our office was home to an obstetrician, a dentist and later, an insurance agent.
From routine cleanings and fillings to bruxism devices, Woodland Family Dentistry is equipped to handle all your dental needs. Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, including a complete set of x-rays, for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-rays for proper diagnosis of inter-proximal decay of posterior teeth.Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root.
All our professionals at Woodland Family Dentistry maintain the highest levels of accreditation and pursue ongoing education to stay abreast of the latest trends in dentistry. Hailing from Ann Arbor, Dr. McFinton attended the University of Michigan, triple majoring in Biology, Economics and Film Studies.
Our hygienists Wendy, Heather, Cristy, Jackie, Gina, Tara and Lauren are graduates of Ferris State University, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kellogg Community College, Mott Community College and Wayne County Community College. These ladies have been providing gentle cleanings in our office for many years, each with a unique personalized touch.

Kind, Helpful, Wonderfully Sensitive. My experiences with Woodland Family Dentistry highlight the value of excellent patient care, trust, and sensitivity. What can I mean by sensitivity? Well, all the members of my little family are patients here. From my two-year old, born with a cleft lip, to my four year old who is neurodivergent, and myself and my husband.
Each of us has seen different, wonderfully kind hygienists, and Dr. McFinton as our dentist, and each time, I have been struck by how individualized the care has been for each of us. The team was so helpful when my two year old was having a hard time, and helped support us, didn't push him, and showed great thoughtfulness (thank you, Lauren!). My four year old had a great experience, which was a surprise to me (also huge thanks to Lauren!)!
I owe that completely to the fact that they spoke with him throughout the process, and let him decline the cleaning with the loud (but of course, effective) device, to opt instead for a manual soft brush. All of our cleanings have been gentle, thorough, and pain-free, which is huge! For myself, my wonderful hygienist Jackie ensured such a positive experience. Dr. McFinton has been knowledgeable, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful with all of our different needs. Lori helped me tirelessly to reschedule appointments during a fall/winter marked by illness after illness for the kids, and always kept us in mind for cancellations.
We even got my husband to his first dental appointment in 12 years! I truly can't say enough about this wonderful team, dedicated to the health and happiness of our family through their dental care. Thank you so much! We will be lifelong patients.

I have been a patient at Woodland Family Dentistry for about 10 years and I have only had wonderful experiences with them. Each dentist and hygienist is patient and explains their treatment thoroughly. They are gentle during their cleanings and cavity fillings and make sure their patient is comfortable. I have never experienced any pain during a filling with them and they even had extra headphones when I forgot mine.
They always answer any questions I have. The ladies at the front desk are great as well, their scheduling is efficient and organized and check in and check out is always quick. I love Woodland Family Dentistry!

I absolutely love Woodland Family Dentistry. The entire staff is super kind and friendly. It creates a very calm and relaxing environment that is ideal for a dentist office. From the time you walk in till the time you leave they make you feel safe and cared for. Would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a dentist.

I've been going here since I was little, and I've always come out with a good experience. The dental hygienists there are very kind, and are excellent with children and adults alike. Recently, during the COVID pandemic, we've all been worried about hygiene, and in my most recent visit, they dealt with this extremely well. Everyone was wearing face guards, wearing multiple layers of garments, and taking every precaution to provide a clean and safe environment. Overall, Woodland Family Dentistry provides a clean, safe, and friendly experience when getting your teeth cleaned or a cavity filled. I would recommend them to anyone.

5 stars for this dental practice! I am a new patient here and am impressed. The patient registration process was simple, the front desk staff, shout out to Laurel and Lori, were so kind and helpful, my hygienist Wendy was thorough and made me feel comfortable, and the dentist was friendly, down to earth, and kind. All around a well run practice with great people.

I absolutely love Woodland Family Dentistry. The office staff is warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful, honest, and knowledgeable. I have made many(too many) last min requests and they have done a great job fitting me in. Dr. Mcfinton is one of the kindest, gentle, patient focused dentists I have ever met. The dentist she has added to the practice over the years are all top level experts, who are also kind and friendly.
The hygienists are kind, efficient, and they take their time to consider the whole patient not just their teeth. The waiting room and exam rooms are comfortable and spotless. They seem to embrace new technologies, but do it in a way that makes all feel comfortable and welcome. I can't say enough great things about this practice!

My family and I have been going to Woodland Family Dentistry for as long as I can remember, and we couldn't be more happy with our experience. Dr. McFinton and the rest of the crew are incredibly welcoming, smart, and friendly, and their hospitality has made going to the dentist less of a chore and more of something I find myself looking forward to every couple of months. I would absolutely recommend checking them out if you're new to the area or looking for a new dentist.

Great practice! I've always had dental anxiety, as a result of several traumatic experiences as a child which resulted in my avoidance of going to the dentist. Dr. McFinton is by far the most gentle dentist I've ever had and makes sure I'm as comfortable as possible. The hygienists are thorough and knowledgeable and the office ladies are so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone I know.
