Family-focused dentistry, braces, and Invisalign for Lawrence kids, just next door in Methuen.
Happy Hoppers Pediatric Dentistry and Braces sits just outside Lawrence, in Methuen, a quick trip for families across the city, from South Lawrence to the Prospect Hill neighborhood. Dr. Vaibhav Jagad provides pediatric dental care from a child’s first checkup onward, while Dr. Bhoomi Kotak, a board-certified orthodontist, handles braces, Invisalign, and airway-focused care. Both specialties, one family-run office.
Lawrence sits directly across the Merrimack River from Methuen, and most of the city reaches us in about 10 to 15 minutes via Route 28 or Route 213. We see families regularly from South Lawrence, the Arlington neighborhood, and downtown. Street parking near our office can be limited during the day, so we recommend using our lot, and our front desk is happy to walk you through the fastest route from your part of the city.
Lawrence is a busy, growing city, and families need a dental team that makes appointments easy to keep. Dr. Jagad handles cleanings, fluoride, sealants, fillings, crowns, and dental emergencies, with an emphasis on catching small problems before they become bigger ones. We welcome children from their very first visit, ideally around their first birthday, through routine checkups every six months.
Dr. Bhoomi Kotak, a board-certified orthodontist, treats Lawrence patients of all ages, from children just starting orthodontic evaluation to adults considering treatment for the first time. We offer metal braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign, and every plan begins with a free consultation so families understand the timeline and cost before committing to anything.
An orthodontic evaluation by age 7, as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists, can catch a developing bite or jaw problem while it’s simpler to treat. Dr. Kotak also offers airway-focused orthodontics, looking at how a child breathes and sleeps rather than only how straight their teeth are. Frequent mouth breathing, loud snoring, or restless sleep are signs worth having checked.
Your child sees a pediatric dentist and a board-certified orthodontist without a referral across town.
Dr. Kotak's published work on airway and jaw development sets her apart from most local orthodontists.
New patients are typically seen the same week, and our front desk responds quickly to calls.
