Chesapeake Dental Education Center
Welcome to the Chesapeake Dental Education Center. CDEC is the culmination of the dental careers of Drs. Woody Wooddell and Joe Passaro. They have been in partnership for over three decades, and their thriving practice of restorative and esthetic dentistry has been dedicated to practice excellence, dental education and patient service.
"Woody" and "Joe" have studied under the best minds in dentistry and have assimilated their vast knowledge into a singular program proven to effectively diagnose the problem, develop an appropriate treatment plan and implement the optimum solution for any restorative or esthetic case.
Woody and Joe are full-time clinicians who have put what they've learned and the techniques they've developed into practice every day. They are effective educators because they have a passion for dentistry and teach from experience. Their students learn not only concepts, but also how to implement what is taught in their own practices.

Our one day Treatment Planning Comprehensive Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry seminar is the cornerstone for all courses offered at our center.
This workshop series will teach the skills necessary to support the treatment planning seminar. They are all
two-day hands-on small-group sessions.
This two-day workshop allows participants to bring cases from their own practices to apply and reinforce the concepts taught in the workshop series.
