Common issues on dental websites

These are the violations we find most often — and most commonly cited in demand letters.

  • Inaccessible appointment booking form

    Patients who use screen readers can't book appointments online.

  • Staff photos without alt text

    Screen readers can't describe your team to blind patients.

  • Low-contrast body text

    Elderly patients with low vision can't read your content.

  • No keyboard navigation

    Users who can't use a mouse are locked out of your site.

  • Unlabeled form fields

    "Phone" and "Date" fields with no visible labels confuse screen readers.

  • Inaccessible PDFs

    Patient intake forms as scanned images can't be read by screen readers.

Questions we get asked

Do dental practice websites need to be ADA compliant?
Yes. Dental practices are 'places of public accommodation' and their websites must be accessible under the ADA. Healthcare and dental websites have been actively targeted in ADA lawsuits — particularly appointment booking and patient intake forms.
What are the most common accessibility violations on dental websites?
The most frequently cited issues are: appointment booking forms that screen readers can't complete, before/after gallery images with no alt text, patient intake PDFs that aren't tagged for accessibility, insurance information sections with insufficient contrast, and contact forms with missing field labels.
Can a patient sue my practice even if they can call to book an appointment?
Yes. Courts have ruled that requiring a phone call as an alternative to an inaccessible website is not a sufficient accommodation under the ADA. The website itself must be accessible — a workaround phone number doesn't eliminate liability.
Does a dental accessibility widget or overlay protect my practice?
No. 22% of ADA lawsuits in 2025 targeted businesses that already had an overlay installed. Courts have consistently rejected overlays as an adequate defense — the underlying code must be fixed to comply with the ADA.
