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.

Amazing office, very communicative, office staff is great and definitely show they care and help anyway they can. I was recommended here by a friend and I am happy I made the switch. I have had appointments with both Dr. Huynh and Dr. Phan, both are great at their work.
I wish I could give more stars to be honest. I came to Elegant Smiles following a terrible experience at a previous dental office, that left me with an infection, a lot of pain, and needing significant work. Elegant Smiles was recommended by a co-worker who raved about them. I was in quite a bit of pain and the receptionist was kind and worked to get me in immediately. At my first examination Dr. Phan made me feel comfortable and confident in his ability to fix the issue right away. The facility is state of the art. No walking from one x-ray machine and back. You sit in a massage chair and the x-ray machine comes to you. All the work happens, and you don't leave the chair once. Following that exam, I was immediately offered a teeth cleaning. I don't know the Dental Hygienists name, but she was excellent! She utilized a state-of-the-art water powered tool that doesn't hurt and require a lot of the normal tooth scraping with tools. She also made me laugh quite a bit and my teeth felt wonderful when I left.On my recent appointment yesterday the dental assistant Ricky greeted me at my chair warmly and gave me detailed information on all the work being completed that day. I had a large filling and a temp crown placement happening. The numbing was easy, the work was comfortable, and the sanitizing procedures they use in prepping my tooth for the crown made me feel confident. They show you scans of your teeth as they occur, and you never once feel confused as to what is happening in your mouth. My temp fits like a charm and I have no pain or sensitivity at all. Dr. Phan and Ricky worked so well together start to finish. I never thought getting a crown would be so easy. The best decision I made was switching to this office. I will never go anywhere else.

I have been seeing Dr. Huynh for a few years now. she is the best dentist I have seen in my life. I am looking forward to see her for many more years to come. Yesterday there was this gentleman name Ricky, he took care of my teeth at the end of my appointment, he did an amazing job on me. he really took his time to take care of my teeth, I am very happy that I found them. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Everytime I visit this dental office I have a great experience. During the last visit I had more work done and everyone was very attentive and professional! Special thanks to the new team member Ricky who went above and beyond to fully explain each procedure and made me feel confident and excited about my treatment!! Thank you all!!
