Accessibility

Last updated: June 1, 2025

Woodbend Dental is committed to ensuring that our dental practice and website are accessible to everyone, including patients and visitors with disabilities. We believe that quality dental care should be available to all members of our community, regardless of ability.

Our Physical Practice

Our clinic at 107 Hawthorn Way #5, Leduc, AB T9E 0B1 is designed to be welcoming and accessible to patients with mobility challenges and other disabilities. Features of our practice include:

  • Wheelchair-accessible entrance and treatment rooms.
  • Accessible washroom facilities.
  • Ample parking, including designated accessible parking spaces.
  • Staff trained to assist patients with accessibility needs with sensitivity and respect.

If you have specific accessibility requirements, please let us know when booking your appointment so we can make the appropriate arrangements.

Website Accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible to people with disabilities in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We work continuously to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

Measures we take to support website accessibility include:

  • Providing text alternatives for all non-text content, including images.
  • Ensuring sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds.
  • Designing for keyboard navigation throughout the website.
  • Using semantic HTML to support screen readers and assistive technologies.
  • Ensuring form fields and interactive elements have descriptive labels.
  • Avoiding content that flashes or strobes at rates that could cause seizures.
  • Providing skip navigation links to allow users to bypass repeated content.

Known Limitations

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards throughout our website, some older content or third-party embedded tools (such as maps or booking widgets) may not fully meet these guidelines. We are actively working to address known gaps and improve accessibility over time.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver).
  • Browser zoom features up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
  • Keyboard-only navigation.
  • High contrast mode.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website and practice. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, or if you need information provided in an alternative format, please contact us:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days. We take all accessibility concerns seriously and will make every reasonable effort to address them promptly.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We conduct periodic reviews of our website and physical facilities and welcome input from patients and the community to help us continuously improve.
