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.
What Can I Expect After Cold Sore Treatment?
After your laser cold sore treatment, it is common to experience little to no downtime, allowing most individuals to return to normal activities right away. The treated area may feel slightly warm or sensitive for a short time, but discomfort is typically minimal. Many people notice that their cold sores heal more quickly and may be less severe than previous outbreaks, especially when treatment is performed at the earliest signs of symptoms. In addition to supporting faster healing, cold sore laser therapy may help reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks occurring in the same area. At Elegant Smiles in Las Vegas, NV, our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to promote comfort and help you achieve the best possible results from your cold sore treatment.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
I found this place after bouncing around several offices and leaving with much dissatisfaction. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve now found my permanent dentist’s office.The staff is very kind and helpful. They go to great lengths to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The office itself is very clean and welcoming. I was actually feeling so relaxed (rare) because the office offers a nice view of the mountains while sitting in the chair getting procedures done. I almost forgot that I was there for dental work!Dr. Huynh is phenomenal. Very professional and knowledgeable. Very gentle and kind in her approach. I’m very happy to have found her practice.
Was a new patient here and Dr. Phan is so nice. He is very honest and didn’t over diagnose on me. Another office told me I needed a ton of dental work. When I came here they were efficient and upfront. I really appreciated that. The cleaning was gentle with a powder water spray that left me feeling so clean. Thank you Miles for being so gentle!
My experience began with the warm, welcoming smile from Daniel at the front desk.She was so kind and made me feel comfortable because I was always scared of going to the dentist. Then I met Dr. Phan who was just as warm and welcoming. I was told I needed 9 crowns and I have been told that several months before by a different dentist , but he did not make me feel comfortable. I decided to go ahead and let Dr. Phan do the work. It was a lengthy few visits but Dr. Phan and his assistant Catherine were so amazing and made me feel at home. They were both so attentive and caring about all my feelings. If I felt any discomfort, Dr. Phan would stop immediately and made sure I was comfortable until he continued his perfection!!!! My teeth look and feel amazing and I HIGHLY recommend him. If you want perfection you need to see Dr. Phan because he is the best!!!! Thank you Dr. Phan.
I am extremely happy with Dr Phi Phan and his entire team at Elegant Smiles. Everyone is so kind, thoughtful, helpful and talented. I'm absolutely excited about going to the dentist.
I had many issues with my teeth and was never happy with how they looked. Dr. Phan completely reinvented my smile and thoroughly explained everything in the process. I really appreciate him and the entire team for their care. Everyone is informative, helpful, and has great attention to detail.
