BOARD-CERTIFIED ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON
Dr. Sonia Bennett DDS
Munster is already part of Dr. Sonia Bennett’s working week. She is a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and she holds hospital privileges at Community Hospital on MacArthur Boulevard, the Powers Health hospital Munster families know well. Her own practice, Glacial Sands OMS in Chesterton, is where Munster patients come for planned surgical care.
Her training began at the Indiana University School of Dentistry, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, and continued in the San Francisco Bay Area with a hospital-based residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery through Highland Hospital and the University of the Pacific. Residency at a busy trauma center covers far more than teeth: anesthesia, facial reconstruction, and the care of patients with significant medical conditions.
That breadth is why colleagues describe her as the expert in face, mouth and jaw surgery. Across her career she has placed 12,000+ implants and completed over 2,000 full arch cases. Munster patients meet her first at a consultation where the imaging is reviewed together, the options are laid out without pressure, and the plan is priced before anything is booked.
SPECIALIZED ORAL CARE
Oral Surgery Procedures
Glacial Sands OMS is a practice devoted entirely to oral surgery, located in Chesterton about a half hour east of Munster. The work done here is the surgical side of dentistry: single dental implants and All-on-4® full arch replacement, wisdom teeth removal with IV sedation, bone grafting, surgical tooth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, and oral pathology, including biopsies.
The practice holds a 4.9-star rating on Google, built on short waits, straight answers, and surgery days that run the way they were scheduled. Munster dentists send us the procedures that belong in a surgeon’s hands and take their patients back for crowns, bridges, and routine care, and that division of labor is exactly how it should work.

Getting to Chesterton from Munster
Start anywhere in Munster, along Ridge Road, Calumet Avenue, or Columbia Avenue, and the directions barely change: get to I-94 and head east. Leave the interstate at exit 1, Calumet Avenue, follow Calumet Avenue south to Monroe Avenue, and you are in downtown Chesterton, where our office sits at 1008 Broadway, STE 100. From central Munster the whole trip is about 25 miles and about a half hour, and nearly all of it is interstate.
A half hour sounds like a commitment until you set it against the alternatives Munster patients weigh: a similar drive into Illinois, or surgical care from someone whose work your own dentist does not know. Follow-up visits are brief, and the drive home after surgery is a straight, quiet interstate run for your driver. Consultations are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. In-person consultations are $150, including all X-rays, and the $150 is credited toward your surgery.

OUR PRACTICE
Glacial Sands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Good surgery is decided in the planning, not improvised in the chair. Every plan at Glacial Sands OMS is built for one patient at a time, from that person’s imaging, health history, and goals, and it is explained in full before a date is set.
Munster patients often arrive the way surgical patients usually should: sent by a dentist or physician who knows Dr. Bennett’s hospital work at Community Hospital. We honor that trust with prompt reports back to the referring office and direct communication with you at every step.
On the money side, expect candor. Glacial Sands OMS is an out-of-network practice. We file your dental claims as a courtesy, give you a written estimate before treatment, and review financing options at the consultation, so the cost is settled before the care begins.
OUR SERVICES
ALL-on-4 Dental Implants
When an entire arch of teeth is failing, All-on-4® full arch treatment rebuilds it on four implants set at planned angles, in many cases without the bone grafting that older approaches required. Dr. Bennett has completed over 2,000 full arch cases, including Munster patients who had been told their bone would not support implants. If you are considering a full arch, begin with a complimentary virtual consultation with our implant coordinator, Cilestia Jurek, who will go over your situation and the likely next steps from your own home.
