From Mizner Park at 327 Plaza Real, take NE Mizner Boulevard and NE 2nd Street to N Dixie Highway, then turn west onto Palmetto Park Road. Stay on Palmetto Park for about 2.5 miles, crossing I-95, and turn left onto S Military Trail for 1.3 miles. Turn right on SW 18th St and continue roughly 1.4 miles west, just short of Powerline Road, into The Boardwalk at 18th Street plaza. The whole trip covers 5.9 miles and ends at 6877 SW 18th St # H120, Boca Raton, FL 33433, which you can find on Google Maps here.
The drive begins steps from the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the Mizner Park Amphitheater. We also welcome neighbors from Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and Camino Gardens both a short distance from the downtown core.
Why Downtown Boca Raton Patients Head West to See Us
Downtown Boca Raton packs shopping, dining, galleries and homes into a walkable core. Mizner Park opened in 1991 on the site of the old Boca Mall, and Royal Palm Place adds another shopping plaza nearby. That energy is part of the appeal, but it can make a midday errand feel like a project. A dental office a short drive away, with spaces right outside the door, removes that friction.
Legacy Dental Care sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County with a Boca Raton mailing address, so it lies outside the city limits that frame downtown. The practical effect for patients is easy parking and a calmer setting. The building is wheelchair accessible, and you walk straight from your car into the office.
Because one dentist runs every appointment, downtown residents never have to start over with a stranger. Dr. Huang keeps track of your history, your preferences and any work in progress. That consistency is especially useful for multi-step treatment such as implants or a set of crowns.
Downtown Boca Raton also gained a Brightline station on December 21, 2022, next to the Boca Raton Public Library near Mizner Park. If you ride the train to work in another city, book a Monday-through-Thursday appointment on a day you stay local. That way a dental visit never has to squeeze around a rail schedule.
Dental Priorities for an Established City Center
Boca Raton is a mature city. At the 2020 Census its median age sat in the mid-40s, and nearly a quarter of residents were 65 or older. Dental needs in a city like that cover a wide range, from cosmetic refreshes to rebuilding teeth that have carried decades of wear.
Older fillings eventually crack, and large ones often leave a tooth too weak to stand alone. A dental crown covers and protects that tooth so it can keep working. Dr. Huang looks at the whole bite before recommending one, because a single crown affects how neighboring teeth meet.
For a missing tooth, the planning starts with a clear picture of the bone. Our office uses CBCT cone beam 3D imaging, which shows bone height, width and nearby nerves in three dimensions. Downtown Boca Raton patients considering an implant can review those images with Dr. Huang and see exactly why he recommends a particular approach. Seeing the scan makes a big decision far easier to understand.
Plenty of downtown professionals also care about how a smile looks across a table or on a video call. Our KöR teeth whitening service lifts deep stains from coffee, tea and red wine.
The city has focused on its core since 1980, when the City Council set aside 344 acres as a community redevelopment area. You can read about that work on the City of Boca Raton CRA page. Old City Hall, a 1927 Addison Mizner design on Federal Highway, still reflects the Mediterranean Revival style Mizner brought to the city.
Care Options from Your Dentist Near Downtown Boca Raton
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers refine the shape and color of your teeth. Downtown Boca Raton residents often want polished results that still look natural. Each plan begins with a clear talk about what you want to change.
Invisalign
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Our digital scanners capture your bite without messy impression trays. Adults who never had braces, or whose teeth shifted after braces, are common candidates.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth with a post that bonds to the jawbone. It looks and functions like a natural tooth and does not rely on the teeth beside it. Implants can also replace several teeth or support a full arch.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and root canal therapy save teeth damaged by decay or wear. We explain every option and its cost before starting. The goal is to keep as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and screenings catch small issues while they are still easy to fix. Regular visits protect both natural teeth and the dental work you have already invested in. New patients without insurance can start with our $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray.
Meet Your Boca Raton Dentist
After earning his DMD at Rutgers, Dr. Sida Huang moved to Florida in 2017. Away from the office he heads to the beach, the gym or a scenic drive along A1A, not far from downtown's waterfront. In the chair he keeps the same easygoing calm.
Insurance & Financing
Veneers, implants and crowns are investments, and our flexible financing breaks them into manageable payments. Insured patients hand the paperwork to us, since we process claims with a multitude of carriers. You see an itemized estimate before any treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Legacy Dental Care from Downtown Boca Raton, and how do I get there?
It is 5.9 miles from Mizner Park to our door, usually a 14-minute drive. Head west on Palmetto Park Road across I-95, go south on Military Trail, then west on SW 18th St to The Boardwalk at 18th Street. Patients searching for a dentist near Downtown Boca Raton appreciate that the last stretch ends at free, front-door parking.
Can Downtown Boca Raton professionals straighten their teeth discreetly?
Yes, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are hard to notice in meetings and come out for meals. The office also offers SureSmile clear aligners. Treatment starts with a digital scan instead of impression putty, so there are no messy trays. From Mizner Park the drive is a straight run west on Palmetto Park Road.
Can Downtown Boca Raton patients get a crown that matches their natural teeth?
Yes, crowns are made to match the shape and shade of the surrounding teeth. Dr. Huang records the tooth with an intraoral digital scan, so there is no tray of impression putty. A crown protects a tooth weakened by a large filling, a crack or a root canal, and you get a detailed cost breakdown before treatment starts.
Can a smile makeover combine veneers and whitening?
Yes, Dr. Huang plans smile makeovers that combine porcelain veneers with whitening, bonding or crowns. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change their shape, color or length. Whitening usually comes first, so the veneers can be matched to your brighter natural shade, and you see the plan and its cost before anything begins.
Do I have to pay for parking at the dental office?
No. Free parking sits directly in front of the office in The Boardwalk at 18th Street plaza. For Downtown Boca Raton patients, that means no garage ramps, tickets or meters to deal with. The building is also wheelchair accessible, with only a short walk from your car to the front desk.
