A husband-and-wife team bringing pediatric dentistry and orthodontics together under one roof in Methuen
Happy Hoppers has cared for families across the Merrimack Valley since 2017. We are a private, family-run practice, not a corporate chain, which means the doctors who treat your child are the same people who own and run the office. That continuity matters. Your child sees familiar faces, their history follows them, and decisions about their care are made by the people who know them.
Bringing a pediatric dentist and a board-certified orthodontist into one office was a deliberate choice. It means a child can move from routine checkups to braces, Invisalign, or early orthodontic care without being referred across town, and without starting over with a new team.
Our approach is simple: treat every child like our own. We focus on prevention and education first, helping children build healthy habits early so problems are caught before they grow. Visits are calm, patient, and unhurried, because a child who feels safe at the dentist becomes an adult who keeps up with their care.
For parents, that means clear explanations, honest recommendations, and a team that takes the time to answer your questions.
A pediatric dentist and a board-certified orthodontist in the same family-run office, so dental and orthodontic care stay connected.
Dr. Kotak has published on airway and jaw health and offers airway-focused care that few local practices provide, looking at how a child breathes and sleeps, not just how their teeth line up.
One trusted team from the first baby tooth through braces and Invisalign in the teenage years.
Same-week appointments, MassHealth and most insurances accepted, and a free consultation to begin.
Happy Hoppers was founded by a husband-and-wife team who bring two specialties together for the families they serve.
Board-Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Kotak is a board-certified orthodontist with a focus on early treatment, Invisalign, and airway-focused care. She has published on airway and jaw health and brings a careful, detail-driven eye to every treatment plan, balancing how a smile looks with how it functions. She is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Board of Orthodontics, and the Northeastern Society of Orthodontists.
Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Jagad helps children feel safe, seen, and cared for. With advanced training in pediatric dentistry and hospital-based dental care, he puts even the most nervous children at ease, from routine checkups to more complex needs. He is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

Our office was built with children in mind: bright, cheerful, and welcoming, so visits feel less like a clinic and more like a place kids do not mind coming back to. Take a look around.
Dr. Bhoomi and Dr. Vaibhav share real tips on kids’ teeth, braces, and healthy smiles with a community of parents on Instagram. Take a look, then follow along.
Happy Hoppers is run by a husband-and-wife team: Dr. Vaibhav Jagad, a pediatric dentist, and Dr. Bhoomi Kotak, a board-certified orthodontist. They founded the practice and treat patients themselves.
