BOARD-CERTIFIED ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON
Dr. Sonia Bennett DDS
Merrillville runs on highways and schedules, and its residents tend to choose specialists the way they choose everything else along the US 30 corridor: by reputation and by results. The surgeon many of them land on is Dr. Sonia Bennett, a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Chesterton, who opens every case by explaining the options, including the option of doing nothing, before she recommends a course.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the Indiana University School of Dentistry, then trained in oral and maxillofacial surgery through a hospital-based residency at Highland Hospital and the University of the Pacific in the San Francisco Bay Area. The residency years covered anesthesia, implant surgery, complex extractions, and corrective jaw work.
As the expert in face, mouth and jaw surgery, she has placed 12,000+ implants and completed over 2,000 full arch cases. In practice, Merrillville patients see that depth in the details: a 3D scan precedes any treatment plan, sedation choices are reviewed in plain language, and the phone call after surgery comes from this office without being requested.
SPECIALIZED ORAL CARE
Oral Surgery Procedures
From Chesterton, Glacial Sands OMS covers the surgical side of dentistry for Merrillville: dental implants and All-on-4® full arch replacement, wisdom teeth removal under IV sedation, bone grafting, tooth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, and oral pathology. When a Merrillville dentist says a tooth needs a surgeon rather than another filling, this is the kind of office they have in mind, one equipped and scheduled for operative care only.
The whole building runs on operative days: the imaging, the team, and the calendar are organized around surgery rather than fitted between cleanings. Patients have given the practice a 4.9-star rating on Google, and a large share of Merrillville families arrive the same way, sent by their own dentist, who keeps the restorative side of treatment at home.

Dr. Sonia Bennett takes pride in providing her patients with confidence, care, and comfort.
Getting to Chesterton from Merrillville
From the US 30 and I-65 junction, our office at 1008 Broadway, STE 100, Chesterton is about 21 miles and roughly a half hour away: I-65 north to I-94 east, off at the Chesterton exit, and in along Indian Boundary Road to Broadway. It is one straight run on the interstates Merrillville is built around, with no surface-street slog at either end.
That half hour pays off again on the way home. A driver can have you back to the Southlake Mall neighborhoods, the Broadway corridor, or the Taft Street side of town before the sedation has fully worn off, and follow-up visits stay easy while you heal. Consultations are scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays; in-person consultations are $150, including all X-rays, with the $150 credited toward your surgery.

OUR PRACTICE
Glacial Sands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Every plan at Glacial Sands OMS starts from the same question: what does this particular patient actually need? The answer is assembled one person at a time, and the options, the sequence, and the costs are all laid out before a date is set.

Insurance guidance is equally direct. We are out of network with all plans and file your dental claims as a courtesy, so your benefits still work for you, and you hold a clear estimate before treatment begins.
OUR SERVICES
ALL-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4® replaces a full arch on four implants set at planned angles, a design that often avoids the bone grafting older approaches required. It is the treatment Merrillville patients ask about when most of an arch is failing. Dr. Bennett has completed over 2,000 full arch cases, including patients told elsewhere that implants were not an option for them. Start from home with a complimentary virtual consultation with implant coordinator Cilestia Jurek, who will review your situation and map the next steps before you make the drive.
