Convenient Access from Boca Pointe
Many people searching for a dentist near Boca Pointe are surprised to learn the answer is already on their doorstep. Legacy Dental Care sits in The Boardwalk at 18th Street, a plaza that golf writers count as part of the Boca Pointe master plan, and the drive from the clubhouse takes about 3 minutes. Our Boca Raton office is led by one dentist, Dr. Sida Huang, who handles every appointment himself.
Start at the clubhouse, 7144 Boca Pointe Dr, and drive east to the community entrance on Powerline Road. Turn right and head south on Powerline Rd, the arterial that runs along the community's east side, then turn left onto SW 18th St. A short plaza drive brings you to our door at 6877 SW 18th St # H120, Boca Raton, FL 33433, about 1 mile and 3 minutes from the clubhouse.
Free parking waits directly in front of the office, and the building is wheelchair accessible. Save our Legacy Dental Care map pin so the first trip is effortless. Friends a little farther out have their own pages: Boca Del Mar to the north and Sandalfoot Cove to the west.
A Dental Home Inside the Boca Pointe Master Plan
Boca Pointe is a master-planned community of roughly 1,000 acres, with more than 4,000 residences spread across 29 villages. Its plan includes the Boardwalk at SW 18th Street shopping district, and our suite is in that plaza. On 2008 census maps, the office even falls inside the outline of the former census-designated place. For residents, a checkup becomes an errand close to home rather than a trip across town.
The Club at Boca Pointe anchors community life. Its 18-hole course opened in 1982, designed by Golforce, a Jack Nicklaus division, and the club also keeps 16 Har-Tru tennis courts. County records list the private course at about 202 acres. Members voted in 2021 to transfer ownership to Heritage Golf Group.
That short distance changes how dental care fits into a week. We see patients Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday visits are available by appointment only. A morning cleaning can wrap up before lunch, and a follow-up check after a new crown never turns into a long outing. Patients who prefer daytime driving will find every appointment falls in daylight hours.
The setting is quiet, too. Powerline Road and SW 18th St carry most of the traffic near the plaza, and the Palm Beach County line sits less than half a mile south. The Hillsboro Canal forms much of that border, with Deerfield Beach on the Broward side. Parking out front means a short walk from your car to our door.
Long-Term Dental Priorities for Boca Pointe Residents
When Boca Pointe was last counted as a census-designated place, in the 2000 Census, about half of its residents were 65 or older and the median age sat in the mid-60s. The community was not tabulated in 2010 or 2020, so those numbers are a historical snapshot rather than a current count. Still, they point to the topics that come up often for patients here: aging crowns, gum health and missing teeth.
Older crowns deserve a closer look than they usually get. A crown placed decades ago can still look fine while decay works its way under the edge. Digital x-rays show that hidden space early, and a new dental crown can then be shaded to match the teeth beside it.
Gum health is the other quiet issue. Bone loss around teeth rarely hurts in its early stages, so many adults learn about it only when a tooth feels loose. At each exam we measure the pockets around your teeth, and when deeper cleaning is needed, scaling and root planing removes buildup from below the gumline. Healthy gums also keep bridges and implants stable for years.
Missing teeth call for a plan, not a wait-and-see approach. Dr. Huang uses CBCT, a cone beam 3D scan, to measure bone height before recommending an implant, and he compares that option with a bridge or partial denture so you can weigh comfort and cost together. New patients without insurance can start with our $99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray, available when no periodontal disease is present.
Some households in the community do include school-age children, and attendance zones split inside the community. The clubhouse address is zoned for Del Prado Elementary, Omni Middle and Spanish River Community High. The plaza where our office sits falls in the zones for Verde K-8, Boca Raton Community Middle and Boca Raton Community High.
Restoring and Protecting Smiles with a Dentist Near Boca Pointe
Periodontics
Gum care comes first on this list because healthy gums hold everything else in place. We track pocket depths from visit to visit and treat inflammation before it loosens teeth. For many patients here, a steady maintenance schedule protects decades of earlier dental work.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild teeth that have done years of hard work. Dr. Huang reviews each older restoration and ranks what needs attention now against what can wait. Work can be spread over several visits a mile from home.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces the root as well as the visible tooth, which helps preserve the jawbone. Planning starts with 3D imaging, so bone depth is known before any procedure. It is a common next step when an old bridge finally fails.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and veneers can freshen a smile without major surgery. A common goal is bringing worn or yellowed front teeth in line with newer crowns. Dr. Huang talks through shade and shape before anything is changed.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and screenings catch small problems while they are still small. With the office this close to home, staying on a twice-yearly schedule takes very little effort. Booking the next visit before you leave keeps it simple.
Meet Your Boca Raton Dentist
Dr. Sida Huang, DMD, relocated to Florida in 2017 and is the only dentist at Legacy Dental Care. Every exam, filling and implant consultation is his, so you build a relationship with one doctor rather than a rotating staff. He remembers which crown he is watching and what you told him at your last visit.
Insurance & Financing
Our team works with a multitude of insurance providers and processes the claims on your behalf. Before a crown or implant begins, you receive a detailed cost breakdown that shows your share up front. Flexible financing is also available when a plan runs larger.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Legacy Dental Care from Boca Pointe, and how do I get there?
Legacy Dental Care is about 1 mile from The Club at Boca Pointe, roughly a 3-minute drive. Drive east from the clubhouse to Powerline Rd, head south, and turn left onto SW 18th St into the plaza. Few residents have a shorter trip to a dentist near Boca Pointe, though rush hour on Powerline Rd can add a few minutes.
Is there free parking at the office for Boca Pointe patients?
Yes, parking is free directly in front of the office, and the building is wheelchair accessible. Legacy Dental Care sits in The Boardwalk at 18th Street, part of the Boca Pointe master plan, so the drive from the clubhouse is under a mile. That makes it simple to stop in for a cleaning or a follow-up without hunting for a space.
Can I book a cleaning on a Friday?
Yes, but Fridays are by appointment only. Regular hours run Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and the office does not offer evening or weekend hours. From the Boca Pointe clubhouse the drive is only about 3 minutes, so an early-afternoon slot fits easily around a morning round of golf or other plans.
What are the options when an old dental bridge starts to fail?
There are usually three: a new bridge, a dental implant or a partial denture. Dr. Huang checks the anchor teeth and the bone, using CBCT 3D imaging when an implant is a possibility. He then compares cost, upkeep and comfort for each choice, and you see a cost breakdown before any work starts.
Can a Boca Pointe resident replace a single missing tooth with an implant?
Yes, a dental implant is a common way to replace one missing tooth without touching the teeth beside it. Dr. Sida Huang uses CBCT 3D imaging to study the bone before planning the post, and a crown is attached once it has healed. Where the bone has thinned, bone grafting can rebuild it first, and follow-up visits are only minutes from home.
