Keep reading below to learn more about who we are and how we can help you and your family smile for a lifetime.

Who We Are

Rocky River Dental was opened in 1994 by Dr. William L. Farr. He was later joined by his son, Dr. William Z. Farr, and Dr. Dalia Thweib. Together, they offer a unique approach to dental care, one that combines a forward-thinking, compassionate, and relationship-driven style.

As the founder of Rocky River Dental, Dr. William L. Farr is a dentist near Bellaire who has more than 30 years of experience and understands what is required to ensure a successful and positive dental visit. With a can-do attitude and desire to exceed patients’ expectations, he has been named a Top Dentist by Cleveland Magazine since 2008 and provides a plethora of in-house services – dental implants, endodontics, periodontics, anesthesiology, and more – to minimize the need to refer patients to outside specialists.

Dr. William Z. Farr joined his father’s practice and is following in his footsteps. Immersed in the field from a young age, he knew how life-changing dentistry could be for an individual. After earning his dental degree, at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, he completed a General Practice Residency at the Cleveland VA Medical Hospital.

Alongside the father-and-son duo is Dr. Dalia Thweib. Attending the University of Jordan for her dental degree, she later moved to the U.S. to complete a General Practice Residency at Berkshire Medical Center after finishing the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at Howard University.
