Growing up in Lockport, NY, where his friends and family still reside, he knew from a young age that he wanted to be an orthodontist. Prepared for the long years of school ahead of him, he decided to enroll at SUNY Geneseo for a bachelors degree in Biology and then continued on to SUNY Buffalo for his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. There he met his future-wife, Jill while they both studied dentistry.
After graduating among the top students in his class, Dr. Farley then attended the University of Pittsburgh to complete a three-year specialty residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, while Jill served as a dentist in the US Air Force. They both knew, though, that Western New York was their home and so they moved back and got married. Dr. Farley has been practicing locally since 2007 in a large orthodontic specialty practice.
Dr. Farley truly enjoys both the art and science of being an orthodontist. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the New York State Dental Society, the 8th District Dental Society, and the American Association of Orthodontists. In 2015, he was named the president of the Niagara County Dental Society.
He treats both children and adults in a caring, fun manner, and has been trained in the most advanced techniques, utilizing self-ligating braces, clear braces, digital x-rays, Invisalign and many others.
When he is not helping people improve their smiles, Dr. Farley has many interests and hobbies. As an outdoor enthusiast, he enjoys hiking, camping, backpacking and is a member of the Adirondack 46ers, for which he and Jill hiked up 46 mountains in the Adirondack Park over 4,000 feet high.
In the summer he also enjoys playing golf, but is much better at disc golf. When the snow begins to fly, he heads for the hills to go snowboarding. At home, Dr. Farley is often playing one of his vintage Martin ukuleles and watching sports on television, especially the Bills and the Sabres. Dr. Farley and his wife Jill have three little boys, Jack, Sam, and Max. The Farley family lives in Pendleton, along with their cat, Marcy.
Our philosophy is to provide the highest level of orthodontic care utilizing the latest techniques and technology. We believe that patients of all ages should be treated in a fun environment, with kindness and respect. We believe that patients should not have a treatment that is too long, too expensive, or too impersonal. We utilize a patient-centered philosophy that seeks to improve self-image and confidence through excellent treatment results.
Its more important than ever to brush and floss regularly when you have braces, so the teeth and gums are healthy during orthodontic treatment. Patients who do not keep their teeth clean may require more frequent visits to the dentist for a professional cleaning. Adults who have a history of gum disease should also see a periodontist during orthodontic treatment. Watch the two videos below on the proper care of braces during orthodontic treatment.
What can you eat? Lets talk about what you shouldnt eat! For the first day or so, stick to soft foods. Avoid tough meats, hard breads, and raw vegetables. Before long, youll be able to bite a cucumber again. But youll need to protect your orthodontic appliances when you eat for as long as youre wearing braces.
When you get your braces on, you may feel general soreness in your mouth and teeth may be tender to biting pressures for 3 5 days. Take Tylenol or whatever you normally take for headache or discomfort. The lips, cheeks and tongue may also become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become accustomed to the braces. We will supply wax to put on the braces in irritated areas to lessen discomfort.
To successfully complete orthodontic treatment, the patient must work together with the orthodontist. The teeth and jaws can only move toward their corrected positions if the patient consistently wears the rubber bands or other appliances as prescribed. Lack of cooperation following instructions and damaged appliances lengthen the treatment time so please follow instructions.

I have been seeing Dr Farley for Invisalign treatments this past year and could not be happier with the results so far! He is a true professional and is great at what he does. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Both of my children had braces done by Dr. Farley. Dr. Farley and his staff are the best! Very friendly and help to make the experience a pleasant One. Another great plus is he makes buying braces affordable.

Dr. Farley and his staff at Farley Orthodontics are simply delightful. As the mother of one of their patients, I've had more interaction with the staff than I have with Dr. Farley, and I can honestly say they are some of the nicest people out there. They are very accommodating--and very understanding when you accidentally miss an appointment! Dr. Farley was very professional and thorough in our initial appointment, and made sure we understood why treatment was needed and how to go about implementing it. As a patient, my son has nothing but good things to say about him!

I should have written this review in July, however now is better than never. I went to Dr. Farley to replace my bottom permeant retainer that I had placed in NC, then again in CA, and once more at a different Orthodontist in Amherst that charged me $300 to do so. Dr. Farley and his staff were super friendly and worked with me to make sure that I could keep my beautiful smile. If I ever have any issues I will be sure to go back here. I would also recommend him to anyone and everyone!
