Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility for All

Essex Street Dental Medicine is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards to enhance usability and inclusivity.

Our Commitment

We strive to make our website accessible and usable for the widest possible audience, including individuals who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnification software, voice recognition programs, and keyboard navigation.

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process and are committed to maintaining and improving our digital accessibility as standards evolve and as we identify opportunities for improvement.

Accessibility Standards and Ongoing Efforts

Essex Street Dental Medicine aims to improve accessibility by working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), currently targeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA and monitoring updates including WCAG 2.2 where feasible.

To support this effort, we routinely:

• Conduct automated accessibility scans and assessments
• Address identified accessibility barriers as part of ongoing website improvements
• Review and refine accessibility as website content and features evolve
• Implement accessibility considerations into new design and development work

While we are actively working toward increased WCAG conformance, we cannot guarantee that all website elements will always fully conform in every environment, browser, assistive technology configuration, or future update.

Third-Party Content and Tools

Our website may incorporate third-party content, integrations, or tools (including accessibility widgets and overlays such as UserWay). While we choose vendors carefully and aim to integrate tools that enhance accessibility, we do not control third-party platforms or services and cannot guarantee their accessibility, uptime, performance, or continued compliance.

If any third-party functionality causes difficulty accessing content or services, please contact us using the information below and we will make reasonable efforts to provide an accessible alternative or assist you.

Note: Third-party tools and overlays are intended to support accessibility, but they are not a substitute for accessible website design and development and may not resolve every issue for every user.

Limitations and Disclaimer

Despite our efforts, some users may still experience issues. This may occur due to:

• Limitations of third-party integrations or legacy content
• Ongoing updates or changes to our website
• Variations in user devices, browsers, and assistive technologies

Essex Street Dental Medicine does not warrant that this website will be error-free or uninterrupted and does not guarantee accessibility for all users under all circumstances.
