Depends on how low your GCSEs grades are, and whether they meet the entry requirements of the dental schools

There are some dental schools that score GCSEs quite highly such as King's. I also know that Birmingham requires Biology and Chemistry at a grade 8 which you should probably avoid.
I'd also like to add that if you go the grade 5 in English Language or Maths then that may be a problem as I believe that most dental schools require a minimum of a grade 6. But other than that, if you get good predicted grades and a good UCAT score then you should have some options available to you.
