GCSE requirements for dentistry

Hi, I am just wondering whether my GCSES will cut my chances off to dentistry completely as I’ve seen people on TSR with majority 9’s and still rejected.
Here are my GCSE’S:
9- RE
7- English language, Spanish , citizenship , combined science 1
6- combined science 2, business , english lit and maths
( I did the november resits for my maths and find my results out in January)
What universities do you recommend I apply to?
I am also in the Leeds dental futures programme and I am eligible to a contextual offer there.
I am currently in year 12 studying biology, chemistry, sociology and taking part in an EPQ
Any advice?
Thankyou

As long as you apply strategically its fine im in a similar situation but i wanna do medicine
you need to apply for schools that dont focus on gcses e.g plymouth

Lok at this document for entry requirements they make a new one every year btw but this is the latest dentalschoolscouncil.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DSC-Entry-Requirements-entry-2024.pdf then cross check on websites like medic mind + uni website and make a list of schools you are able to apply to
