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.

Dr. Phan is a good dentist, made my tooth filling procedure an easy process. Felt comfortable throughout the entire thing :)
i got a filling from ricky and dr phan and they were both very nice and gentle! I recommend going here because everyone here is very friendly and i was just comfortable the entire time
This is the best dentist money can buy hands down. I can tell you the team work is dynamic and the energy is so dope. I can also say this is a very honest dentist. Before I was introduced to this office I had a cavity and a few different dentist searching for the right one, most said I needed a root canal, and I found Elegant smiles, the Doc said you don't need a root canal this tooth can be fixed simple I got you. I was shocked, and sold on the honesty. My tooth is still in great condition thanks to Doc. They're perfectionist taking quality time for each patient. There is no wait time, your seen immediately upon arrival. I been sold for 3 years now and I have not looked back. I recommend 100%

Determined to perfect to your satisfaction ! then onto Dr. Finn, who was so gentle with a dreaded procedure that turned out to be Pain-free and not scary as he explained everything along the way, and it truly took the fear out of the process, I am so grateful to have found Elegant Smile and must say it's my first experience not dreading an upcoming dental appointment👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had the privilege of visiting Elegant Smiles yesterday as a first time patient and I could not have been more impressed! The welcoming, clean atmosphere and the friendly front desk staff gave me a sense of confidence as soon as I walked in the door. Elegant Smiles was a professional and pleasant environment, and the dental staff gave my teeth an amazing clean! I’m glad to now call this place home!
