Hi I got an email from Dundee saying that they can offer me a place for dentistry and send me instructions on how to apply on ucas which I have done. Do you think I will hear back as confirmation today or can it take few days

If you've applied to them on UCAS, wait until you get a response. If you don't hear back from them, call them up
