Contact UsWhat Are Cold Sores?
Cold sores are blisters on the lips near the mouth. The blisters are usually swollen, inflamed, and red and can be uncomfortable. The lesions can appear independently or in little clusters, and when they break, a transparent fluid leaks out and the blister will scab over. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, also called HSV, and may appear in or around the mouth. The condition is highly infectious and can be transmitted quite easily by touch. Our team can diagnose and treat cold sores with minimally invasive laser treatments. Schedule an appointment with our Las Vegas, NV office today if you need relief.

Who Is A Candidate for Cold Sore Treatment?
Candidates for cold sore treatment are individuals who experience frequent or painful outbreaks of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. Treatment is ideal for those looking to reduce healing time, alleviate discomfort, and prevent further spread. People who have recurring sores or are prone to outbreaks triggered by stress, illness, or sun exposure can benefit from treatment options that minimize symptoms and manage flare-ups more effectively.
What Can I Expect During A Cold Sore Treatment?
Cold sores typically go away on their own within a few days. However, if they are noticeable on the lip or close to the mouth, it can be painful and embarrassing. Our team at Elegant Smiles can help speed up the healing process through advanced laser treatment. The laser goes straight to the cause of the problem, targeting the virus. If caught before the blister stage, laser treatment can accelerate healing without harming surrounding tissue or coming in contact with your skin. This type of therapy is ideal for those who frequently suffer from cold sores. For immediate relief, contact our team at Elegant Smiles in Las Vegas, NV to maintain your oral health.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
Dr. Phan and staff were excellent. Above and beyond, top notch quality. I have found my trusted local office.
The whole team at Elegant smile cares and take the time to explain with patience and knowledge. Their rates are fair and the space fabulous. I highly recommend Elegant smile.
I just had a fantastic experience with Dr. Phi Phan and his team! Dr. Phan is not only professional but also genuinely cares about his patients. The technician, Ricky, was super friendly and made the whole process easy and very informative. And I can’t say enough good things about Trisha, the intern. Her enthusiasm really added to the experience!
All of the staff are nice, soft spoken, and they treat the patients well!
The best dentist office experience ever. I'd say probably 3 big highlights of this place that allow it to truly stand above all those corporate dental groups (like a certain one I transferred from). First is the people, man they're some of the warmest I've met outside of perhaps my family and friends, special shoutouts to Dr. Phan (stellar doc with great advice and he's quite funny), Ricky (hygienist who explained everything in incredible detail), and Shonte (I felt like I was talking to my aunt, she asked me all about my day and the like). Second is the exam chair which doubles as a massage chair, thought about placing this point first because you literally get a massage during your dental cleaning. Third is the overhead TV that plays beautiful videos (of I think the California coast?) that you can watch while getting your cleaning. I would recommend this place to everyone, it just feels like a family (you're actually supporting a family business, husband/wife duo), and you feel taken care of here.
