Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: April 9, 2026

Our Commitment

Westar Dental is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe that every patient deserves equal access to information about our dental services, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility and usability of our website for all visitors.

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:

• Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
• Hearing impairments (deafness, hard of hearing)
• Motor impairments (limited fine motor control, inability to use a mouse)
• Cognitive and neurological disabilities

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

• Semantic HTML: We use proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and semantic markup to ensure screen readers can navigate our content effectively.
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements on our website are accessible via keyboard navigation, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to fully interact with our site.
• Text Alternatives: Images and non-text content include descriptive alt text to convey information to users of assistive technologies.
• Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Responsive Design: Our website adapts to various screen sizes and devices, and supports text resizing without loss of content or functionality.
• Clear Navigation: Consistent and predictable navigation patterns are used throughout the site to help all users find information easily.
• Form Labels: All form fields include descriptive labels and instructions to assist users in completing appointment requests and contact forms.
• Link Purpose: Links are written to clearly indicate their destination or purpose, even when read out of context.

Third-Party Content

Our website may include third-party content or link to external services (such as appointment scheduling platforms, payment processors, and financing providers) that are not under our direct control. While we encourage these providers to follow accessibility best practices, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of their content or services.

Ongoing Efforts

We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are committed to continually improving the accessibility of our website. Our team regularly reviews our site for accessibility issues, and we incorporate accessibility considerations into our development process. Specific ongoing efforts include:

• Regular accessibility audits and testing.
• Staff training on accessibility best practices.
• Incorporation of user feedback to identify and address barriers.
• Monitoring of evolving accessibility standards and guidelines.
