About Sonshine Family Dental
A father-son handoff—from Dr. Steve Driggers to Dr. Sam Driggers—keeps care steady for families juggling several kids' appointments and patients arriving mid-treatment from elsewhere.
Sonshine Family Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign and clear aligners alongside its everyday care. Reviews frequently mention patients transferring mid-treatment from other offices and families managing several children's appointments at once, suggesting the practice handles continuity of care well. Dr. Sam Driggers, who has taken over from his father and founder Dr. Steve Driggers, is described as thorough and gentle, with several longtime patients noting the transition kept the same level of care. Reviewers also point to same-day emergency scheduling and printed cost breakdowns before treatment begins.

I moved to Indy a month ago. During my first visit to the sonshine, the dentist spent more than 30 minutes to explain to me options to treat my teeth. Very clear, no pressure. Most impressive part is that they printed out essential information about my treatment options, and including cost before I left the office. Very pleasant and informative first visit.
Recommend this dentist all around! Great patient experience they know what they’re doing and provide all the information you need to feel confident about any procedure. Best test cleanings to prevent future dental emergencies!
Sonshine Dentistry is amazing. I have anxiety from being at the dentist that although I look ok, my blood pressure can get too high. I have had a procedure cancelled because of it at another place. My physician ordered a lot of labs and confirmed that it is brought on by anxiety at the dentist. He recommended Sonshine Dentistry and called them to discuss my problem. First, they monitor my blood pressure using the proper equipment instead of a battery operated cuff. They ask me what might help to calm me down and put on my choice of music. I told them that normal idle chitchat might distract me and that helped too. The best thing they do though is have fantastic dental skills. From x-rays to procedures, they are gentle, professional, respectful and quick. Dr. Sam is the best dentist I have ever been to and I have had a lot of dental work done over my lifetime. I drive an hour and a half to go to Sonshine Dentistry because there isn't a dentist locally who can compare. On top of all of these amazing things, they have some of the lowest costs I have seen. I joined the monthly plan because I am self pay (no insurance) and I get 2 free cleanings, x-rays, exams, and discounts on procedures. My cost for one procedure was almost a third of what they charge locally. They are more than worth the drive. My anxiety is so much better and I am finally getting my teeth lined up after years of avoiding a dentist. Thank you Dr. Sam and staff.
Sonshine Dental is a great choice for all of your general dentistry needs. My father was a dentist so I know a thing or two about dental clinics and this is a great one. They are an office committed to God and you can hear Christian radio playing in the background. They also do a morning prayer with the staff before they see their first patients at 8:00 a.m. That being said, anyone should feel welcome regardless of your beliefs because they never talk about religion with patients or ask any questions. They are simply a location that believes in the Lord and helping everyone with their dental needs. I highly recommend Sonshine to anyone looking for a caring place that truly takes their time with every patient.
GREAT JOB! Had an emergency. Bad wisdom tooth and a trip coming up. They worked me in the next day. Everyone was VERT pleasant and inviting. They made me as comfortable as possible (checking constantly). I liked my experience so much, I booked an appointment to get back on track with regular visits.
