Convenient Access from Delray Beach
A toll-free run down I-95 brings Delray Beach City Hall within roughly 21 minutes of Legacy Dental Care. Our Boca Raton practice gives anyone weighing a dentist in Delray Beach, FL an easy drive and one doctor who handles every visit personally. Dr. Sida Huang has already cared for patients from Delray, so the trip south is a familiar one for our team.
Start at City Hall on NW 1st Ave, head south a block, and turn right onto W Atlantic Ave for about 0.7 miles to the I-95 ramp. Ride I-95 south for about 8 miles, exit at W Palmetto Park Rd, and go west a short distance to S Military Trail. Turn left and follow Military Trail south about 1.3 miles, then turn right onto SW 18th St and continue west for about 1.4 miles. The full drive is about 13.1 miles, with no toll roads along the way.
Most of the trip is interstate driving, so there are few traffic lights between Atlantic Avenue and Palmetto Park Road. Rush hour adds time on the I-95 corridor, which makes mid-morning slots an easy choice for many patients.
Our office is at 6877 SW 18th St # H120, Boca Raton, FL 33433, in The Boardwalk at 18th Street plaza near the western end of that stretch, just east of Powerline Road. You can view our location on Google Maps and send it to your phone. Parking is free directly in front of the office, and the building is wheelchair accessible. We also welcome patients from Downtown Boca Raton and the Town Center area.
Bringing Delray Beach Smiles a Short Drive South
The city began in the 1890s as a settlement called Linton, took the name Delray in 1901, and merged with the beachside town of Delray Beach in 1927. That long history still shows in the downtown historic districts, with Mediterranean Revival homes, Art Deco buildings and Key West-style cottages. Pineapple farming once gave the Pineapple Grove district its name.
Between the 1920s and 1940s, a seasonal colony of artists and writers took shape here, and the galleries along Atlantic Avenue carry that tradition forward. It is a place where people put down roots, and many residents want a dentist they can keep just as long. Seeing the same doctor at every visit makes that kind of long relationship possible.
Today the city's energy runs along Atlantic Avenue, which stretches from I-95 to the ocean with restaurants, shops and galleries. Old School Square, the former campus of Delray Elementary and Delray High, now serves as a cultural center with the Crest Theatre and the Cornell Art Museum. City Hall sits a block north of the avenue, so a morning appointment pairs easily with an afternoon downtown.
Plenty of residents live away from downtown too, near the Tri-Rail and Amtrak station on S Congress Ave or out toward Jog Road. Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a free county-run boardwalk at 13270 Jog Rd, and the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens both carry Delray Beach addresses. Neighbors in Boynton Beach and Highland Beach sit just to the north and south.
Dental Care Priorities in a City with Deep Roots
Delray Beach is one of the older communities we serve, with a median age near 50 and more than a quarter of residents aged 65 or older. That profile puts the focus on protecting natural teeth and replacing missing ones well.
Teeth that have carried decades of fillings eventually crack or weaken. A dental crown covers and protects a tooth that has lost too much structure, restoring its strength for everyday chewing. Dr. Huang reviews older crowns and bridges at each checkup, so wear is caught before it turns into a break.
A single missing tooth affects more than appearance. Neighboring teeth can drift into the gap, and the opposing tooth can shift, slowly changing how the bite fits together. Dr. Huang compares a bridge with an implant for each case, weighing bone support, the condition of nearby teeth and your budget.
Not every household here is retired. Students attend Atlantic Community High School on W Atlantic Ave, and younger families are part of the mix too. Our hours run Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM, with Fridays by appointment only, so a visit right after school drop-off is easy to arrange.
Our office uses digital x-rays, which produce detailed images in seconds and let Dr. Huang show you exactly what he sees on screen. We also provide oral cancer screening, a quick check of the tongue, cheeks and throat that becomes more important with age.
Gum health shapes everything else. Inflamed or receding gums can loosen teeth and undermine bridges, yet the early signs are easy to miss. Regular periodontal checks let us spot changes early and treat them with the least involved option.
Treatment Options for Patients Seeking a Dentist in Delray Beach, FL
Dental Implants
An implant anchors a replacement tooth in the jawbone, giving a stable result that does not rely on neighboring teeth. It is a strong choice for anyone who wants to replace a single lost tooth or support a denture.
Periodontics
Deep cleanings and ongoing gum maintenance protect the foundation of every tooth. For older patients, steady periodontal care often decides whether natural teeth last for life.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild function after decay or wear. Dr. Huang plans restorative work in sensible stages, so you can space treatment around travel and family plans.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers, bonding and whitening refine shape and color once your teeth are healthy. Some patients pair a cosmetic update with restorative work, so the finished smile looks even and natural.
Dental emergencies receive same-day or next-day appointments, and new patients pay $29 for an emergency exam and x-ray. With I-95 doing most of the driving, help is only about 21 minutes away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Legacy Dental Care from Delray Beach, and how do I get there?
From Delray Beach City Hall, our office is about 13.1 miles away, roughly 21 minutes by car. Take Atlantic Avenue to I-95 south, exit at Palmetto Park Road, then follow Military Trail and SW 18th St west to our plaza. Anyone comparing a dentist in Delray Beach, FL with our office gets a simple, toll-free drive.
Is there a toll on the drive from Delray Beach?
No, the fastest route uses no toll roads. I-95 carries most of the trip and is not tolled through this stretch, with surface streets at each end. Florida's Turnpike runs west of the city, but you do not need it to reach SW 18th St from downtown Delray Beach.
Has Dr. Huang treated patients from Delray before?
Yes, he has cared for patients from Delray since relocating to Florida in 2017. He sees every patient at our practice himself, so returning patients always work with the same doctor. That continuity makes it easier to track older crowns, fillings and gum health from one visit to the next.
Can receding gums be treated for Delray Beach patients?
Yes, gum grafting can cover exposed roots and protect them from sensitivity and decay. Recession often comes from gum disease or brushing too hard, so Dr. Huang also looks for the cause. The office is about 21 minutes south of Delray Beach City Hall on I-95, and the whole drive stays within Palm Beach County.
Can Delray Beach patients with sensitive teeth find relief?
Yes, sensitivity usually has a fixable cause. Worn enamel, receding gums, a cracked tooth or an old filling can all expose the tooth to cold and sweets. Dr. Huang finds the source first, then treats it with options such as bonding over exposed roots, a new filling or gum care, and a sensitivity toothpaste can help in the meantime.
