About Raya Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry
Raya Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry is a dental practice on East Chandler Boulevard in the Las Casitas del Sur area of Chandler, Arizona. Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.
Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

We love everyone here! They are always so wonderful, warm, friendly and put my son at ease. They truly are the best! My son's first time going to the dentist and eveyone he met made him feel comfortable and heard. Every appointment they chat with him and listen to his stories and just treat him so well not just like a patient! We love this office and Dr. Raya!
We love Raya Sunshine simply because all of the staff, from front desk to Dr. Raya herself, are all so warm, kind, and caring. You can tell from the moment you walk into the beautiful office that everyone here really loves what they do and enjoys working with the kids. I wouldn't trust any other office with my kids dental needs.
On both occasions that I visited this establishment with my children, I felt uncomfortable due to the owner's demeanor. She often comes across as sarcastic and rude. When I mentioned that my youngest has difficulties with chewing and biting, she dismissed my concerns, saying she didn’t see any issues, despite the obvious signs. When I requested a referral to a specialist, she reacted unprofessionally, suggesting that if I didn’t trust her, I should just go see a specialist, all while smiling. This was not the first time I felt unwelcome, the first visit was marked by unkind looks, and I sensed a lack of warmth towards people of color. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future customers.
Wow! The employees. Every. Single. one. of. them. Made me and my girls feel so welcomed and were patient and kind/friendly and took the time to talk and answer every question etc. My 8 year old was basically in tears in the car - she was so scared. And it was my 3 year olds first ever dentist appt and they both had the best time. My 8'year left saying "I LOVE it here - I don't want to leave!" And "I feel SO confident now!" (After being told she needs to come back to get work done on her teeth.) Aaaaand it's the cutest kids dentist/doctor I've seen. They even have things for the kids to play with IN the rooms - not just the front waiting area (which is also suuuuper cute). Major win finding Raya Sunshine! Thanks ladies!
We’re so glad we switched Dentists to Raya Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry. They were so patient with my kids and met them where they were at. My only regret is that we didn’t find them sooner
I cannot recommend Dr. Raya enough! I personally have always been terrified of the dentist, so I was nervous about how my 18-month-old daughter, would react. Dr. Raya was absolutely incredible with her. She made the entire experience so positive and stress-free. I truly wish I had a dentist like her when I was a kid. I’m so grateful that she is starting her dental journey with someone so kind, and I know she’ll actually look forward to her future visits!
I took my 3.5 year old for her first dentist appointment. The staff was so gentle, kind and patient with my daughter. She enjoyed the play areas, stuffed animals for comfort and the toy after her cleaning. This dentist office was very clean and decorated very cute. I can't say enough good things about our experience! 😊
You must go to Raya Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry for all your children dental care. The front desk assistance Cooper and Gabriel were very professional, informative, welcoming, and nice. They were so kind and engaging with my kiddo! Sheila the hygienist was amazing! She was very interactive with my kiddo, she explained all the tools that will be used during the cleaning, and she also allowed my child to touch the tools to make my kiddo comfortable and put him at ease while he received his cleaning & xrays. She asked him questions, made him laugh, and congratulated him on being brave & doing a great job while receiving his care! Dr. Raya was also amazing, kind, welcoming, and very informative on how to take preventive measures to keep the teeth healthy and strong! She also informed us the best foods to eat that strengthens and are best for preventative care. The facility is clean with a lot of toys and activities to keep the kids entertained. The restrooms are very clean as well! I would recommend this place to everyone for Pediatric Dental Care! Thank you all for being so kind and taking care of our kiddo!
I know people often share negative reviews, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight a wonderful experience instead. My 2-year-old is every bit a typical toddler — energetic, curious, and not always eager to sit still — but his dentist was absolutely amazing. Dr. Raya at Raya Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry is one of the kindest women I’ve ever met, with such a big heart. Her entire team goes above and beyond to make both kids and parents feel comfortable. The office itself is bright, colorful, and filled with adorable toys in every room. When my son didn’t want to sit in the dentist chair, they were so patient and accommodating, letting him sit on my lap instead. I’m genuinely excited to have this office as part of my family’s ongoing care. And as a bonus — their goodie bags are the best! They include all the usual dental essentials (toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.), plus a cute tote bag and a T-shirt.
From the moment we walk in we’re greeted by the kindest humans! They have a children’s play section that is always a hit with my toddler and allows her to feel comfortable and at ease. Going to the dentist is no longer scary or a fight. We love the treatment rooms! Parents can accompany their kiddos, they are bright and beautiful! They also have books, stuffed animals and games to help keep the younger kiddos entertained throughout the entire visit! Dr. Raya is incredible with my wiggly toddler and makes the visit such a breeze! She and her staff truly are amazing being able to coach young patients in this setting! As a parent I also appreciate the education and knowledge I walk out with after every visit. We drive 30 /40 minutes each way to visit and worth every second:)
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at our 3-year-old son's very first dental appointment! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The lobby was clean and full of fun, age-appropriate activities—our son especially enjoyed playing with the "shark" teeth set and reading the books while we waited. Miss Myra set the perfect tone for the visit. She was so friendly and kind, and took the time to explain everything in "kid language," helping our son feel at ease and involved in the process. Dr. Raya was equally amazing—so patient, gentle, and reassuring. She made sure our son felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. Both Miss Myra and Dr. Raya had a natural, calming way with him that made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. My husband even stated he was jealous that he had "aged out" because he wanted to be a patient here. :) The cherry on top was getting to pick out a little toy car at the end, which absolutely made his day! We’re incredibly grateful for the care and kindness shown by Dr. Raya and her entire team. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
We just switched to this dentist for my kids (3 and 7) and both myself and they like it! Dr Raya made us feel comfortable from the start of me literally walking in, she’s very personable and all of the staff including her are professional and made our experience great! I highly recommend it here! I wanted to add the office is super clean and smells awesome and beautifully set up!
