No owls do not have teeth they have a large sharp beak.
No creature of the avian family (that's birds) have teeth. This includes owls.
The only bird that had teeth died out a long time ago.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Owls swallow their prey whole, digest it, then spit out the indigestible parts (bones and fur) as a pellet.
Other birds that need to break up their food (because they eat seeds etc) have a 'gizzard', which is a thick musseled structure with a thick internal skin in which food is ground up in combination with grit and stones that the bird has also swallowed.
