Life Is Good In Brighton, AL
Brighton Alabama, is one of four cities in Jefferson County named after Great Britain. The city was named after a seaside resort town on the southeast coast of England. However, European Americans did not settle it until the late 19th century. In 1889, lots were sold along the Bessemer and Birmingham Railroad streetcar lines. It was not until the early 1900s that the city began to grow in size, thanks to rapid industrialization.
The city is located in the Birmingham-Hoover Metropolitan Statistical Area, home to 1,128,047 people. Its population is about 25% of the entire state. Brighton boasts a number of colleges and universities. Within ten miles of the city are the University of Alabama, Samford University, and Birmingham-Southern College. The burgeoning metropolis also hosts the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Center, which is eight minutes from the Civil Rights Institute. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are also within proximity of the city.
There are plenty of hotels available in the area, including the Super 8 by Wyndham Homewood Birmingham. This hotel has excellent rates on room rates and offers other perks like free wireless internet and an on-site ATM. Also, the Brighton Inn and Suites is a nice stay. The hotel has several packages to choose from, including extended stay deals and several bed-and-breakfast properties.
The city is also home to several museums, including the Vulcan Park and Museum. The city also has many historical markers. Among them, the most interesting is the one commemorating the lynching of William Miller in 1908.
Brighton is a great place to visit if you want a city with many nifty, fun things to do. The city has a mayor-council government and is part of the Jefferson County School District.
And, of course, there are several local and international restaurants to choose from when you are hungry. A good amount of shopping centers and retail stores can be found across the city despite the population only being around 2,873. The city has a total area of slightly more than a square mile, making it Alabama’s ninth-largest city.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need a crown instead of a filling?
Dr. Curry always tries a standard filling first. When a tooth is broken, chipped, or decayed to the point a filling won't hold, a crown is the next step, fully covering the tooth to restore its strength, shape, and natural appearance. He'll confirm the right option at your visit.
What other reasons might call for a crown?
Other reasons include large or leaking metal fillings that need replacing, extensive decay, a tooth that has had a root canal, or an old crown that needs replacing. A crown can also fix the dark line that shows at the gumline of an older crown. Dr. Curry reviews which applies to you.
What are crowns made of?
Porcelain (tooth-colored) crowns are the most popular because they look like natural teeth; they can be all-porcelain or porcelain over a metal framework. All-metal crowns in gold or other alloys are also available and very durable for back teeth. Dr. Curry reviews each option and its cost before you decide.
How long do porcelain crowns last?
With proper care, porcelain crowns are highly durable and commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer. To protect them, avoid chewing ice or hard candy, wear a nightguard if you grind, and keep up regular cleanings so Dr. Curry can catch any wear early and keep your crown looking natural.
Will people be able to tell I have a crown?
When done correctly, a crown fully encases the visible tooth and is custom-made to match its original shape, color, width, and height, so no one should be able to tell it's there. Dr. Curry shade-matches each crown so your restored tooth blends seamlessly with the teeth around it.
What's the difference between full and partial dentures?
Partial dentures (sometimes called a removable bridge) replace one or more missing teeth and attach to your remaining natural teeth, which also helps keep those teeth from shifting. Complete dentures replace all teeth once they've been lost or extracted and the gums have healed. Dr. Curry helps you choose the right fit.
What types of partial dentures do you make?
Dr. Curry makes two kinds of partial dentures. A traditional metal-base partial is very durable and lets him add teeth later if you lose another. A Valplast partial has a pink, flexible base that's lighter and more comfortable than metal, with no visible metal clasps when you smile.
Can I get dentures the same day my teeth are extracted?
In some cases, yes. An Immediate Complete Denture can be delivered the day your teeth are extracted, so you're never without teeth. Because gums shift as they heal, immediate dentures usually need a few follow-up adjustments over the following weeks for a comfortable, secure fit.
What are the benefits of dentures beyond replacing teeth?
Beyond replacing teeth, dentures restore your ability to chew and speak clearly, and they support your lips and cheeks for a fuller, more youthful appearance. They help prevent the wrinkles and sagging that follow tooth loss, and they rebuild the confidence to smile. Dr. Curry tailors the look to you.
How do I know if dentures are right for me, versus implants or a bridge?
If you're missing most or all of your teeth and implants aren't an option, dentures may be the answer; for a few missing teeth, a bridge or implant may fit better. Come in and Dr. Curry will compare your options. Call (205) 972-3831 to schedule.
