How sure are you about this? Because I've checked the ratings for both Universities online for Dentistry. And I think Sheffield has a better rank. Do you have any personal experiences?

You are right about Sheffield having the higher rank, according to the CUG. But Barts and the London have a higher score for research assessment(not sure if that is useful for your MSc), I've also heard that it would be getting new facilities, which could benefit you. It also has a small dental school, which may mean more personalised attention.
I think what is most important is that you find out more about the course in each uni and see which one will suit you more, as it is better to go to a school that can help you learn more about the subject as opposed to which one has the better reputation.

Go to Queen Mary, the lecturers are amazing. Dr Patel is head of materials science and she's lovely!
