My chances at getting into a dentistry course?

Can anyone give their opinions of the likelihood that I can get into a dentistry course at uni in the UK?

My grades in GCSE are:
9 in maths
99 in science
77 in english lang/lit
and an 8, 9 and 7 for my optional subjects

I am studying maths, biology and chemistry at a-level and I have been predicted 2A*s and an A for them.

Plus I have done one medical related work experience and am set to do another work experience soon specifically for dentistry.

I am also doing 2 programmes in year 12 (a STEM one and an outreach one)

I have also done some virtual work experience

And I have volunteered a bit at a primary school

Do you think this is enough?

Yes, I'm going to focus on revising for the ucat in summer and I have a 4 day dentistry shadowing work experience soon.
I hope I get a good score 🤞
