Convenient Access from Coral Springs
Busy households hunting for a dentist in Coral Springs, FL can be in a chair at Legacy Dental Care about 18 minutes after leaving City Hall. Our Boca Raton office pairs a single, doctor-led team with care for every age, from a teen's first aligner scan to a parent's overdue crown. About half the distance runs on the Sawgrass Expressway, so the trip feels shorter than the county line suggests.
Leave Coral Springs City Hall at 9500 W Sample Rd, turn left after a block onto University Drive, and head north about 2 miles. Take the ramp east onto the Sawgrass Expressway, a toll road, and stay on it for roughly 5.1 miles until it becomes SW 10th St in Deerfield Beach. Turn left on Powerline Road, drive north about 1.9 miles into Boca Raton, then turn right on SW 18th St. Expect about 10.5 miles and 18 minutes door to door.
Our suite is 6877 SW 18th St # H120, Boca Raton, FL 33433, inside The Boardwalk at 18th Street plaza, a short way east of Powerline Road. Tap directions on Google Maps to load the route on your phone. Parking is free right outside our door, and the building is wheelchair accessible. Families in Parkland to the north and Tamarac to the south take a very similar expressway run.
A Practice That Fits How Coral Springs Families Live
Coral Springs was planned from the start. Coral Ridge Properties bought the land in 1961, the city received its charter on July 10, 1963, and residential build-out was reached in 2003. The result is a city of tidy neighborhoods and strict landscaping codes in northwest Broward County, with the Everglades just to the west.
The first thing built here was the Coral Springs Historic Covered Bridge, a 40-foot span over NW 95th Ave just south of Wiles Road. It went up in 1964 to promote the new town and remains the only covered bridge in Florida in a public right-of-way. The Sawgrass Expressway followed in 1986, and it is still the fastest way from town to our door.
About a quarter of residents are under 18, and the median age sits in the late 30s, which makes this one of the youngest communities we serve. A household with kids of different ages benefits from one office that can see everyone without shuffling between providers. At Legacy Dental Care, Dr. Huang sees every patient, so the doctor who checks your daughter's sealants also reviews your own x-rays.
The city's sports life centers on the Coral Springs Sportsplex on Sportsplex Drive, where fields and courts sit beside the Aquatic Complex, the Tennis Center, the Sawgrass Nature Center and the Florida Panthers IceDen rink. Mullins Park, the largest park in the city at 70 acres, also hosts the Museum of Coral Springs History. With that much activity, a chipped front tooth or a loose filling is a matter of when, not if.
Downtown Coral Springs grew up where University Drive meets Sample Road, close to City Hall and right at the start of the drive north. Errands there pair easily with a dental visit, since University Drive leads straight to the expressway ramp. Many trips to our office begin with nothing more than a left turn onto University.
Smart Dental Habits for Growing Households
Children's teeth change fast between elementary school and graduation. Back molars arrive with deep grooves that trap food, and braces or aligners often enter the picture in the middle school years. Regular checkups let Dr. Huang spot crowding early and talk through timing with you, rather than rushing a decision later.
Coral Glades High School and Sawgrass Springs Middle School both sit next to the Sportsplex, and the city added 19 public schools between 1970 and 2000. Classes and practices fill the calendar, so we book cleanings efficiently and keep paperwork short. Our hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday visits are available by appointment only.
Adults deserve the same attention. It is easy for parents to postpone their own care while juggling kids' schedules, and small cracks or old fillings can quietly get worse. Pairing your cleaning with your child's visit is an easy way to stay on track without adding another trip up the Sawgrass.
School breaks are a smart time for longer visits. Summer vacation and winter holidays let students handle fillings, orthodontic starts or a whitening session without missing class. Booking those weeks a little early helps you land morning slots that fit around the rest of the break.
For orthodontic planning, our office uses intraoral digital scanners instead of messy impression trays. A quick scan produces a detailed 3D model of the bite, which Dr. Huang uses to map clear aligner treatment and show you the expected movement on screen.
Services That Matter When You Need a Dentist in Coral Springs, FL
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and digital x-rays form the base of every family plan. Protective dental sealants coat the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where grooves trap food and cavities often begin.
Invisalign
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires, which suits teens who play sports or perform on stage. Aligners come out for meals and brushing, so daily routines stay simple.
Orthodontics
Some bites need more than aligners can offer. Dr. Huang evaluates spacing and jaw alignment, then explains which orthodontic approach fits your child's growth and your family's schedule.
Emergency Dentistry
A collision on the field or a fall at the skate rink can crack a tooth without warning. Emergencies get same-day or next-day appointments, and new patients can book a $29 emergency exam and x-ray.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding, veneers and whitening refresh a smile after braces come off or before a big event. It can also be a good moment for parents to focus on their own smile once the kids' treatment wraps up.
Once braces or aligners come off, some teens and parents want a brighter finish. Our office offers KöR teeth whitening, and Dr. Huang can explain how the process works and whether existing fillings or crowns will affect the final shade.
Meet Your Boca Raton Dentist
Every appointment at our office is with Dr. Sida Huang, DMD, the practice's only provider. That consistency helps nervous kids and teens, because they see the same calm, familiar face each time. He takes the time to explain treatment in plain terms, so both parent and child understand the plan.
Insurance & Financing
Orthodontic and aligner treatment can be a sizable investment for a growing family. Flexible financing options help spread those costs into manageable payments, and our team can describe how they work during your visit. We also process claims with a multitude of insurance providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Legacy Dental Care from Coral Springs, and how do I get there?
We are about 10.5 miles from Coral Springs City Hall, which works out to roughly 18 minutes by car. University Drive north leads to the Sawgrass Expressway, which feeds into Powerline Road and SW 18th St. Parents comparing a dentist in Coral Springs, FL with our office usually find the expressway makes the trip simple.
What should Coral Springs parents do if an adult tooth comes in behind a baby tooth?
Book a quick exam if the baby tooth is still firm. When a lower adult tooth erupts behind a baby tooth, the baby tooth often falls out on its own within a few weeks, and the new tooth shifts forward. If it stays put, Dr. Huang can remove it gently so the adult tooth has room to move into place.
Can teenagers get Invisalign at your office?
Yes, Invisalign is one of the orthodontic options we offer for teens. Dr. Huang starts with an exam and a digital scan to confirm aligners are the right fit for the student's bite. Because aligners come out for meals and practices, they tend to suit busy high school schedules well.
Do you offer dental sealants for Coral Springs kids?
Yes, sealants are part of the preventive care we provide. A thin protective coating goes on the grooved chewing surfaces of back teeth, where food and bacteria collect most easily. Dr. Huang checks the condition of existing sealants at each cleaning and lets you know if any need attention.
Is there a new-patient deal for Coral Springs parents without dental insurance?
Yes, new patients without insurance can book a $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray. The offer applies when periodontal disease is not present. It is a practical way for a parent between employer plans to catch up on overdue care while the rest of the household keeps its usual routine.
