You'd have call Solve this way:

Solve[Dis[r, n] == z, r]

but Mathematica (of course) cannot solve it. I doubt that god could.

You might try an approximation such as

series = Normal@Series[Dis[r, n], {r, 0, 5}];
Solve[series == z, r]

but that may not be useful to you.

Otherwise, you'll have to give n and z numeric values and use NSolve or  
FindRoot.
