BOARD-CERTIFIED ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON
Dr. Sonia Bennett DDS
People drive to Crown Point from all over Lake County to handle serious business at the courthouse, and Crown Point families make the same kind of trip in reverse when the business is surgical. In Chesterton they sit down with Dr. Sonia Bennett, a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who treats planning as part of the procedure itself: imaging first, questions answered in full, and a written plan before anyone talks about dates.
Her training began with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Indiana University School of Dentistry. She then completed her residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Highland Hospital and the University of the Pacific in the San Francisco Bay Area, a hospital program that covered anesthesia, implant surgery, corrective jaw surgery, and the management of medically complex patients.
Patients meet the expert in face, mouth and jaw surgery in the specifics: 12,000+ implants placed, over 2,000 full arch cases completed, and 3D-guided planning for work that leaves little margin for error. Sedation is matched to the procedure and the person, and Dr. Bennett checks in personally once you are home.

SPECIALIZED ORAL CARE
Oral Surgery Procedures
One office handles the surgical side of dentistry for Crown Point: dental implants, All-on-4® full arch treatment, wisdom teeth removal with IV sedation, bone grafting, tooth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, and oral pathology. General dentists around the Square and along the Broadway and North Street corridors refer the cases that belong with a surgeon, and a full report goes back to their office after every procedure. Their patients then return to them for crowns, restorations, and ongoing care.
The practice holds a 4.9-star rating on Google, built on reviews that mention time spent explaining and phones answered by people who know the case. A consultation here is not a sales appointment: it includes a 3D scan, a review of your medical history, and pricing in writing before any surgery is put on the calendar.

Getting to Chesterton from Crown Point
You will find us at 1008 Broadway, STE 100, in downtown Chesterton, about 26 miles and roughly 35 minutes from the Square. Leave Crown Point on North Court Street and East North Street, pick up I-65 north at East 109th Avenue (exit 249), and ride it to I-94 east toward Chesterton; Indian Boundary Road brings you in to Broadway. Nearly all of it is interstate, the same corridor Crown Point drivers use for the lakefront, run the other direction, and it avoids the stop-and-go of US 30 entirely.
Half an hour of highway is the whole cost of the trip, and return visits stay simple for households in Winfield, St. John, and the neighborhoods around Bulldog Park. In-person consultations are $150, including all X-rays, and the $150 is credited toward your surgery.
OUR PRACTICE
Glacial Sands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
No two mouths present the same problem, so no two plans at Glacial Sands OMS are written the same way. Your imaging, your health, and what you want the end result to be all go into the plan, and the reasoning gets explained out loud, in plain terms, before you decide anything.
We know the appointment sits in the middle of a longer day for Crown Point patients, so the schedule is protected and the welcome is by name. Patient forms are online ahead of time, and the front desk confirms exactly what to bring so there are no surprises at check-in.
Money is handled the same way as medicine: directly. The practice is out of network with all plans, files your dental claims as a courtesy, and gives you an estimate before treatment, with financing options reviewed at the consultation.


OUR SERVICES
ALL-on-4 Dental Implants
When an entire arch is failing, All-on-4® rebuilds it as a fixed set of teeth on four implants, frequently without the grafting and long timelines older methods demanded. Dr. Bennett has completed over 2,000 full arch cases, and that experience includes many people who had been told their bone would not support implants at all. Crown Point patients can open the conversation from home with a complimentary virtual consultation with implant coordinator Cilestia Jurek, who will walk through what a full arch involves and what your next step would be.
Providing Personalized Care to Every Patient

Patient Forms
Start the paperwork at your kitchen table: forms are completed online before the trip, so your visit opens with the consultation, not a clipboard.

Insurance & Financing Options
Out of network does not mean you file alone. We submit your claims as a courtesy and put a clear estimate in front of you before treatment is scheduled.

Referring Doctors
Crown Point dentists refer surgical cases here and get a full report back after every procedure. Your own dentist stays your dentist; we handle the surgery in between.
