Convenient Access from Coconut Creek
One family, two generations, one doctor: that is what Legacy Dental Care offers when your search for a dentist in Coconut Creek, FL leads just over the county line. Our office sits on SW 18th St in Boca Raton, about 14 minutes from Coconut Creek City Hall. Dr. Sida Huang sees every patient himself, whether that is a teenager due for a checkup or a grandparent planning an implant.
From the Government Center at 4800 West Copans Road, turn onto Lyons Road and drive north for about 2.8 miles. Take the ramp east onto the Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869), which is a toll road, and stay on it until it becomes SW 10th Street in Deerfield Beach. Turn left onto Powerline Road, head north about 1.9 miles into Boca Raton, and turn right onto SW 18th St into The Boardwalk at 18th Street plaza. The trip covers about 7.3 miles and takes roughly 14 minutes.
That expressway stretch is short. The Sawgrass ends its tolled section near Deerfield Beach and continues as SW 10th Street, an untolled boulevard, before you reach Powerline Road. Drivers who would rather skip the expressway can stay on Lyons Road to Wiles Road, head east, then follow Powerline Road north; plan on roughly 15 minutes that way.
Either route ends at 6877 SW 18th St # H120, Boca Raton, FL 33433, just east of Powerline Road, with free parking right in front. Open our office location on Google Maps to load directions. Nearby, we also welcome patients from Margate and Pompano Beach.
Life in the Butterfly Capital, With a Dentist Who Keeps Pace
Coconut Creek was incorporated in 1967 and is home to nearly 58,000 residents, according to the city. It calls itself the Butterfly Capital of the World, a nod to Butterfly World inside Tradewinds Park on West Sample Road. Locals also know Fern Forest Nature Center on Lyons Road and the open-air Promenade in the MainStreet district. The city's official visitor overview covers more local history.
The Census paints a city split almost evenly between young and old. Roughly one in five residents is under 18, and about the same share is 65 or older. That mix means many households juggle school schedules for the kids and dental work for a parent or grandparent. A single practice that handles both saves a lot of separate phone calls.
Our hours run Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday visits are available by appointment only. Booking several family members back to back can save parents a second trip north. Rush hour on Lyons Road and Powerline Road adds time to the drive.
From Monarch High to Retirement: Dental Needs Across Coconut Creek
Students fill the city's public schools, from Coconut Creek Elementary and Lyons Creek Middle to Monarch High and Coconut Creek High. For younger patients, the priorities are cavity prevention, healthy bite development and protecting teeth during sports. Our dental sealants coat the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where decay often starts.
Grandparents and retirees tend to face a different list. Worn fillings, cracked teeth and gaps from earlier extractions all become more common with age. Digital x-rays let Dr. Huang compare small changes from one visit to the next, which helps him spot a failing restoration before it breaks.
Accidents do not follow a schedule, and a ball to the mouth at practice can crack a front tooth in seconds. New patients can book our $29 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, and dental emergencies receive same-day or next-day appointments. Getting seen quickly often makes the repair simpler.
Broward College's North Campus also sits in the city, and many students there are at the age when wisdom teeth start to crowd in. Pressure behind the last molars, swollen gums or food trapped at the back of the mouth are common signs. Our wisdom tooth extraction page explains how Dr. Huang evaluates those teeth and when removal makes sense.
What Families Weighing a Dentist in Coconut Creek, FL Can Expect Here
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and sealants form the backbone of care for school-age kids and their parents. Regular visits catch early decay while it is still a quick fix.
Orthodontics
Crowded or crooked teeth are easier to clean once they are straightened. Dr. Huang reviews bite and spacing concerns and outlines the orthodontic options that suit a growing smile or an adult one.
Emergency Dentistry
A chipped tooth from a game at Tradewinds Park or a sudden toothache needs prompt attention. Dr. Huang finds the cause first, then lays out the repair options before any work begins.
Dental Implants
For grandparents missing a tooth or two, an implant offers a fixed replacement that does not rely on neighboring teeth. Dr. Huang reviews bone and gum health before recommending one.
Invisalign
Clear aligners appeal to working adults and older teens who want straighter teeth without metal brackets. Digital scans replace messy impressions at the start of treatment.
Choosing services for a whole household works best when one doctor sees the full picture. Dr. Huang can line up a teen's orthodontic consult, a parent's cleaning and a grandparent's implant review so each person's plan makes sense alongside the others. Larger work can be staged over several months to fit school calendars and budgets.
Meet Your Boca Raton Dentist

Braces for one child and a crown for a parent can land in the same year. When that happens, flexible financing lets a household pay over time instead of all at once. Our office files claims with a multitude of insurance providers and shows you an itemized cost breakdown before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Legacy Dental Care from Coconut Creek, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 7.3 miles from Coconut Creek City Hall, roughly a 14-minute drive. The fastest way follows Lyons Road north, the Sawgrass Expressway east, SW 10th Street and then Powerline Road north to SW 18th St. For families searching for a dentist in Coconut Creek, FL, that is a short trip with free parking at the door.
Can I reach your office from Coconut Creek without paying the Sawgrass Expressway toll?
Yes, a surface-street option skips the toll road entirely. Stay on Lyons Road north to Wiles Road, head east, then turn north on Powerline Road all the way to SW 18th St. Plan on roughly 15 minutes for that version, a little longer than the expressway route, though the number is approximate.
Can a teen be seen quickly after a sports injury to the mouth?
Yes, dental emergencies receive same-day or next-day appointments. New patients can start with the $29 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, so a chipped or loosened tooth gets checked before it turns into a bigger problem. Bring any broken piece of tooth, and keep a knocked-out tooth in milk for the short drive up from Broward County.
Can kids and grandparents from the same Coconut Creek household see one dentist?
Yes, Dr. Huang treats patients across generations, and he is the only provider here. A parent can book a child's sealants and a grandparent's implant consult with the same doctor. Keeping everyone under one practice makes records, scheduling and follow-up visits far simpler for busy families.
Should college students have their wisdom teeth evaluated?
Usually, yes, because wisdom teeth tend to arrive in the late teens or early twenties. An exam with x-rays shows whether they have room to come in or are pressing on the molars in front. Dr. Huang reviews the images with each student and recommends removal only when the teeth are likely to cause trouble.
