Website Accessibility
DISTINCTIVE DENTAL SERVICES is dedicated to ensuring our website is accessible by all individuals. We strive to meet or exceed requirements set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA (WCAG 2.0 AA). DISTINCTIVE DENTAL SERVICES team is constantly working to update and improve our site to ensure we continue to meet WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines.
Our web site has been designed to provide a standard layout and navigation throughout the site and to work with all of the most recent versions of mainstream computer operating systems and web browsers, which now include many features designed to help users access web pages to suit them. Below, you’ll find a few recommendations to help make your browsing experience more accessible.
If you have trouble seeing web pages, the US Social Security Administration offers these tips for optimizing your computer and browser to improve your online experience:
Use the keyboard to navigate screens
Increase text size
Magnify your screen
Change background and text colors
Make your mouse pointer more visible (Windows only)
If you are looking for mouse and keyboard alternatives, speech recognition software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking may help you navigate web pages and online services. This software allows the user to move focus around a web page or application screen through voice controls. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, there are several accessibility features available to you.
CLOSED CAPTIONING
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to noisy environments. Most of our video content includes captions.

VOLUME CONTROLS
Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume controls to optimize your listening experience.
