Gentle children's dentistry, braces, and Invisalign for Haverhill families, a short drive south in Methuen.
Happy Hoppers Pediatric Dentistry and Braces is a trusted choice for Haverhill families looking for a pediatric dentist and orthodontist in one place. Our office sits just across the city line in neighboring Methuen, so families from Bradford, Ward Hill, Riverside, the Highlands, and downtown Haverhill reach us in minutes. Under one roof, your child sees a pediatric dentist, Dr. Vaibhav Jagad, and a board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Bhoomi Kotak, for everything from first checkups through braces, Invisalign, and airway-focused care.
Because Methuen borders Haverhill directly to the southwest, our office is roughly a 16-minute drive, about 9 miles, down MA-213 from most of the city. Families come to us from Bradford and the Route 125 corridor south of the Merrimack River, from Ward Hill near the I-495 connector, and from the Highlands and downtown across ZIP codes 01830, 01832, 01834, and 01835. There is parking on site, and our front desk is glad to give directions from your part of Haverhill when you call.
Haverhill is a family city, and young smiles need care built for them. Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Jagad, provides gentle checkups, cleanings, fluoride, and sealants that keep cavities away, along with fillings, crowns, and care for dental emergencies when they happen. The focus is prevention and comfort, so Haverhill children grow up healthy and unafraid of the dentist. We recommend a first visit by your child’s first birthday, then a checkup every six months.
For Haverhill families weighing orthodontic treatment, our care is led by Dr. Bhoomi Kotak, a board-certified orthodontist. We offer traditional metal braces, discreet ceramic braces, and Invisalign clear aligners for children, teens, and adults. Every treatment starts with a free consultation, where Dr. Kotak reviews the teeth and bite and explains the options and a timeline clearly. Whether it is a Haverhill teen wanting a straighter smile before high school or an adult finally addressing a long-standing issue, there is an option that fits.
Some Haverhill children benefit from an early orthodontic evaluation, which the American Association of Orthodontists recommends by age 7. Catching a developing bite or jaw issue early often makes later treatment simpler. Dr. Kotak also offers airway-focused orthodontics, a rare specialty locally, which looks at how a child breathes and sleeps. If your child mouth breathes, snores, or sleeps restlessly, an airway evaluation looks at why.
