BOARD-CERTIFIED ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON
Dr. Sonia Bennett DDS
Portage patients are some of the closest we serve, and many tell us the trip east felt shorter than their drive across Portage at school dismissal time. Their surgeon is Dr. Sonia Bennett, a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who explains every option before she recommends one.
Dr. Bennett trained as a Doctor of Dental Surgery at the Indiana University School of Dentistry, then completed a hospital-based residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Highland Hospital and the University of the Pacific in the San Francisco Bay Area. Residency training at that level covers anesthesia, complex extractions, implant surgery, and jaw reconstruction.
Known as the expert in face, mouth and jaw surgery, she has placed 12,000+ implants and completed over 2,000 full arch cases across her career. Portage patients get the same routine every time: careful 3D planning, sedation matched to the procedure, and a follow-up call from the practice after surgery.
SPECIALIZED ORAL CARE
Oral Surgery Procedures
Glacial Sands OMS is a surgery-only practice in Chesterton, about 15 minutes east of Portage, and it covers the full range of oral surgery: single and full arch dental implants, wisdom teeth removal with IV sedation, bone grafting, tooth extractions, corrective jaw surgery, and biopsy and oral pathology care. If your Portage dentist has told you a tooth needs a surgeon rather than a filling, this is the office they mean.
The practice holds a 4.9-star rating on Google, earned largely on how surgery days feel: calm rooms, honest timelines, and staff who answer the phone. Because we do surgery all day, every day we are open, the team in the room with you has seen your procedure many times before.

Dr. Sonia Bennett takes pride in providing her patients with confidence, care, and comfort.
Getting to Chesterton from Portage
Our office at 1008 Broadway, STE 100, Chesterton is about 7 miles and roughly 15 minutes from central Portage. Most patients take the local route: Mineral Springs Road to Old Porter Road, then Samuelson Road and Central Avenue into Chesterton, which is the same drive Portage families already make for Duneland events. US 20 east through Burns Harbor, then south on State Road 49, works just as well.
Being this close changes the math on follow-up care. A post-op check that would be an expedition from farther away is a quick hop from South Haven, Ogden Dunes, or anywhere along the Portage lakefront, and your driver is home again in time for dinner. In-person consultations are $150, including all X-rays, and the $150 is credited toward your surgery, so the first visit settles the plan and the price at the same time.

OUR PRACTICE
Glacial Sands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Surgery goes better when nothing about it is a surprise. At Glacial Sands OMS, your plan is drawn up individually, walked through step by step, and priced clearly before you commit to anything.
Portage patients often arrive through a referral from their family dentist, and we treat that trust seriously. Your dentist gets a full report, and you go back to them for the crown or restoration that finishes the work.
On cost, we keep it straightforward. We are an out-of-network practice that files your dental claims as a courtesy, and financing options are reviewed at your consultation so there are no guesses later.
OUR SERVICES
ALL-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4® full arch treatment replaces a full row of teeth on four implants and is the route many Portage patients choose when dentures have stopped working or several teeth are failing at once. Dr. Bennett has completed over 2,000 full arch cases, including complex cases other offices declined. Portage patients considering a full arch can begin with a complimentary virtual consultation with implant coordinator Cilestia Jurek, right from home, before deciding on the short drive over.
