Meet Dr. Bennett

Dr. Sonia Bennett is a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the expert in face, mouth and jaw surgery. She performs every surgery at Glacial Sands OMS, and she does it right here in the community she calls home.

Specialist training, hospital based

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon trains for years in a hospital-based residency after dental school, in surgery of the face, mouth, and jaws, and in anesthesia. That training is the foundation of Dr. Bennett’s practice: surgical care at a specialist’s level, with sedation and anesthesia matched to each patient and each case.

Experience you can count

Dr. Bennett has completed over 2,000 successful full arch cases, and placed more than 12,000 implants, and counting. She was the first female oral and maxillofacial surgeon to practice in Northwest Indiana. From 2019 to 2024 she also served as a surgeon for ClearChoice implant centers in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, including Chicago, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, and Detroit-Southfield. She also receives the complicated cases, and the redos, from across the region. That depth of experience is why patients who were told implants were not possible for them come here for a second look.

Here for your family, right in the neighborhood

Dr. Bennett is a mother, and this community is not just where her practice is. It is where she lives, where she works, and where she is raising her kids, the exact same community her patients call home. The families she treats are her neighbors.

That shapes the care here in a simple way: we treat you like family because we are family. Being a parent herself, Dr. Bennett knows what it means to trust someone with a family member’s care, to need a plan explained plainly, and to want a doctor who actually listens before recommending anything. That is the standard she holds for every consultation and every surgery.

Ready to talk about your own smile?

Your consultation is $150, including all X-rays, and the fee is credited toward your surgery when you move forward with treatment. A second opinion is free with a valid treatment plan. Not ready to come in? Start virtually: your first consultation with Dr. Bennett can be held by video, or book a complimentary virtual chat with Cilestia, our implant coordinator. No X-ray needed for either.
