The Americans with Disabilities Act helps guarantee access to “places of public accommodations” for persons with disabilities. Under the Act, and many similar state and local laws, a dental practice is considered a place of public accommodation, so the practice must comply with the Act as well as with applicable state and local accessibility laws. The Act requires that places of public accommodation meet certain accessibility standards. The standards that apply depend on whether the office is an existing facility, being renovated, or new construction.
