Convenient Access from Boca Del Mar
From the golf club on Boca Del Mar Drive, Legacy Dental Care is roughly 6 minutes away, and the whole drive stays off the interstate. That makes our Boca Raton office an easy choice for parents, grandparents and working adults who want a dentist near Boca Del Mar. One doctor, Dr. Sida Huang, sees every patient, whether the visit is a child's first cleaning or a grandparent's crown.
Begin at the golf club and drive west along Boca Del Mar Dr, the community's main street, until it meets Powerline Road. Head south on Powerline Rd, turn left onto SW 18th St, and pull into The Boardwalk at 18th Street. Expect a trip of about 1.9 miles, usually 6 minutes from door to door. The community's improvement association keeps its office on the same street, at 6018 SW 18th St.
Our suite is 6877 SW 18th St # H120, Boca Raton, FL 33433, just east of Powerline Road. Free parking sits directly in front of the office, and the building is wheelchair accessible. Pull up our location on Google Maps before you leave. Readers from Boca Pointe and Town Center can find directions on their own pages.
A Family Practice Sized for Boca Del Mar
Boca Del Mar spreads across about 2,350 acres of condominiums, villas, townhomes and single-family homes, many of them set beside golf courses. Each sub-community runs its own association, so the area can feel like a cluster of small neighborhoods sharing one name. The community association describes it as sitting just west of I-95 at the Palmetto Park Road exit.
Its roots go back further than many newcomers realize. Behring Development Company first planned the land in 1969 as Boca Granada, and the first planned-unit-development approval came in 1971 under its current name. Leadership Housing carried out the development, with major construction in the 1980s. Golf directories date the golf course to 1972, designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge.
That mix of housing has always drawn a mix of ages. In the 2000 Census, the last count of the community as a census-designated place, the community had nearly 22,000 residents. About a quarter were 65 or older, roughly one household in six included children, and the median age sat in the high 40s. Those figures are two decades old, yet the same range of ages still shapes what a local practice needs to offer.
We keep things practical for busy households. Appointments run Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday visits are available by appointment only. With a 6-minute drive each way, one parent can often bring a child in for a checkup and still be back home or at work without losing much of the day.
Planning Dental Care Across Generations in Boca Del Mar
Younger patients mostly need prevention. Verde K-8 School, at 6590 Verde Trail, is the zoned school for the golf club address and for our plaza, though zones change from street to street. Children in those grades are growing new back molars, and dental sealants coat the deep grooves on those teeth to help keep food and bacteria out.
Adults in the middle years often bring a different complaint: sore jaws, flattened teeth or a chipped edge with no obvious cause. Those signs frequently point to clenching or grinding during sleep. A custom nightguard takes that pressure off the enamel, and Dr. Huang checks the wear pattern at each exam to see whether it is working.
Older residents tend to focus on keeping what they have. Aging fillings, crowns and gum changes all show up first on digital x-rays, which let Dr. Huang spot trouble between teeth before it can be felt. Catching a cracked filling early usually means a smaller repair and a shorter appointment.
Accidents can happen to anyone in the house, from a chipped tooth at the playground to a crown that pops off at dinner. Dental emergencies get same-day or next-day appointments here, so a broken tooth does not have to wait through a long weekend of guessing.
Care for Every Age from a Dentist Near Boca Del Mar
Orthodontics
Crooked or crowded teeth are easier to clean once they are straight. Dr. Huang evaluates bite and spacing, then explains which straightening options fit. Progress visits are a short trip down Powerline Road.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and screenings keep small problems small for every member of the household. For local households, twice-yearly visits take only a few minutes of driving each way. Regular checkups also give the doctor a baseline to compare against each year.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and veneers can brighten a smile ahead of a wedding, reunion or job interview. Treatment starts with a conversation about shade and shape. The aim is a natural look that suits your face.
Emergency Dentistry
A toothache or broken tooth needs prompt care, and the 1.9-mile trip keeps help close. We hold same-day or next-day visits for emergencies. Dr. Huang finds the cause first, then lays out the fix.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges repair teeth damaged by decay, wear or injury. Older restorations are reviewed at every exam and replaced on a timeline you agree to. Modern materials are shaded to blend with nearby teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Legacy Dental Care from Boca Del Mar, and how do I get there?
Our office sits about 1.9 miles from the golf club at 6200 Boca Del Mar Dr, a drive of roughly 6 minutes. The route follows Boca Del Mar Dr west, Powerline Rd south and SW 18th St east into the plaza. That keeps the trip to a dentist near Boca Del Mar off I-95 entirely, though rush hour on Powerline Rd adds a few minutes.
Does a family practice near Boca Del Mar treat gum disease as well as cavities?
Yes, gum care is part of the practice's everyday work. Dr. Sida Huang treats periodontal disease with scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning below the gumline, and offers gum grafting when recession has exposed the roots. Catching bleeding or puffy gums early keeps treatment simpler, and the office is about six minutes from Boca Del Mar by Powerline Road.
What does the $29 emergency exam include for a new Boca Del Mar patient?
It covers an exam and x-rays focused on the tooth that is bothering you. The $29 Emergency Exam & X-Ray is for new patients, and emergencies get same-day or next-day appointments. Dr. Huang reviews what the images show and walks you through the repair options and their costs before any treatment starts, so you can decide on the next step calmly.
Can my child get a checkup during a school break?
Yes, school breaks are a practical time for a cleaning and exam. The office books Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM, with Fridays by appointment only, so holiday weeks open up daytime slots that class days do not. Palm Beach County school holidays are the easiest days to plan around.
Does a nightguard help with jaw soreness first thing in the morning?
Often, yes. Waking with a sore jaw can mean you clench or grind during sleep, and a custom nightguard cushions the teeth from that force. Dr. Huang looks for worn edges and small chips at your exam before recommending one. Ongoing jaw pain may point to a joint problem that calls for TMD care instead.
