Haas Dental Associates began almost 40 years ago in Derry, NH by orthodontist Dr. Ron Hrinda and was named Hrinda Dental Health Associates. Pediatric dentist Dr. Jim Haas joined the practice in 1996. Although it has changed names, Dr. Jim Haas has never changed his focus to provide the best pediatric, orthodontic, and general dental health care possible to the children of the Greater Derry area (Londonderry, Windham, Hampstead, etc.) and throughout Southern NH. Our biggest move to date has been across the street, from our previous office on Crystal Ave. to our modern and spacious building which was custom built for our practice on Manchester Ave. in Derry, NH.
Dr. Jim Haas has always loved working with children, so his decision to become a pediatric dentist was a natural choice. After over 20 years in private practice, Dr. Jim is grateful that he has been fortunate enough to work in a field that he thoroughly enjoys. His focus is not only the dental health of his patients, but their overall well-being. Dr. Jim wants all of his patients and their families to feel comfortable with their treatments, but he recognizes that this can only be accomplished by assessing each individuals needs. His calm, soothing, and often humorous approach help his patients relax and walk away with a very positive dental experience. For patients who are more anxious or have special needs, Dr. Jim has extensive training in conscious and complete sedation dentistry for children and is one of only a few pediatric dentists in New Hampshire who holds a permit to sedate children.
Dr. Jim attended the University of Vermont, and then graduated, with high honors, from Rutgers University. He moved directly from there to the University of Maryland Dental School, graduating magna cum laude. After dental school, Dr. Jim completed a 3-year residency in pediatric dentistry at the Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Jim Haas is board certified in pediatric dentistry, earned the title of Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, New Hampshire Dental Society, and the New Hampshire Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
It is important to Dr. Jim to spend time with his family and to be involved with his community. When hes not reading, hiking, boating, or traveling with hiskids, Dr. Jim likes to support children here in New Hampshire and abroad. He is involved with the foster care system in New Hampshire and participates in the Dentists with a Heart program, including providing screenings in local elementary schools. Dr. Jim also travels to Israel every year in conjunction with Dental Volunteers for Israel, donating his time and talents to underprivileged children, from all backgrounds, in Jerusalem.
Dr. Brian Sullivan, better known as Chip, has lived in New Hampshire since 2001 when he was still in grammar school. Dr. Chip graduated from Pinkerton Academy in 2012 where he ran track and field and he went on to study and run at the University of New Hampshire. During his time at UNH, Chip had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Panama with 2 dentists which left him with a burning desire to complete another trip but the next as a dentist.
After graduating with his B.S. in Neuroscience, Chip took a year off to work and race his dirt bike. During that year, Chip received his acceptance to Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. During his first year of dental school, Chip finished his motocross season with a New England amateur championship. This competitive and self-motivated nature would allow him to rise to the top of his class in his clinical competencies. During his final year, he was the recipient of two awards, an Excellence in General Dentistry award and an Esthetic Appearance in Dentistry award upon graduation.
During his time practicing, Dr. Chip began to develop a new passion for dentistry working with children. He is a member of the NH dental society and strives to stay at the forefront of technology in his field by taking continuing education coursework. His kind and patient demeanor will leave you and your kids with a pleasant experience at the dental office.

OUTSTANDING!!! I can only speak for the pediatric side, but based off our experience, there's no doubt the whole office is incredible. The front desk is so welcoming and kind. The hygienists and doctors are everything you'd hope for. They're kind, gentle and so knowledgeable. I will forever recommend them!!

The care my children receive here is hands down the best!! The entire staff is caring and patient. They take their time to not only explain everything in detail to the parents but also take the time to explain it to the kids making them feel involved in their treatment. Highly recommend!!

My oldest son has always been afraid of the dentist. We skipped an entire year of going because it just traumatized him. We discovered Haas dental a little over a year ago through recommendation. I was sure my son would still have a hard time but to my surprise it went so well!! He's had dental work here since and I can't say enough good things about the staff. They really are all so wonderful and make my children so comfortable. Would recommend everyone bring their children here!

10/2022 My son recently had his initial Orthodontic evaluation and the experience was incredible. The office was filled with positive energy. My son felt really comfortable with the process. 9/2022 Haas Dental was amazing. My kids really enjoyed the atmosphere and services they received.

100% awful customer service. I can't even comment on how their dental services are because when I called to add myself and my son as a patient I was redirected by the person who answered to a voicemail to leave a message and no one called me back. When I called today (the next day) to follow up the person I spoke to was incredibly unhelpful. I guess I'll have to go elsewhere.

Last week was my daughters first visit to the dentist. Everyone at Haas was efficient and so friendly. We had Bri. She did an outstanding job keeping my daughter calm and explaining everything before she did it. At a couple points my daughter was even laughing! Thank you Bri for taking the scariness out of something new and helping us make good health fun for our kids!

I love everybody who works here. They have made going to the dentist enjoyable. They all have the kindest and brightest hearts and are the sweetest people to be around. Shoutout to my ortho girls, love them all so much. I have built so many great connections through coming here they honestly are just the best people. Ive never had a bad experience and all of the workers at the Derry Haas Dental have made me a forever fan and customer. I will never go anywhere else to get my teeth cleaned.

This has been the best dental practice I have ever been to. The staff is very sweet and the office itself is well kept, and lots of fun decorations. The TV's on the ceiling are a great touch, and the kiddos get to pick really awesome prizes at the end of the appointment. 5-stars!
