Dentistry without bio and mid gcses

Ive just started year 13 and I am hoping to apply for dentistry this year. I only came to this realisation a couply weeks ago, and so did not do biology a level. This greatly limits my chances as the vasttttt majority of dental schools require biology. As well as this, my gcses are not great (avergae of grade 6), but with 7 : Maths, both English : 6, Chem : 8, Bio : 7, etc. I have not done my UCAT yet, or started my personal statement. Is it worth getting my hopes up this year, or think of other alternatives : eg, career switch/gap year.
Btw i do Chem, Maths and Psychology and respectively, I am prediced B,A,A
Any advice would be amazing!!

check the requirements for the unis that you are looking to apply to.

about ur gcses, unis take account of other factors, such as what school you went to, your grades in comparison to other people in your school etc. just try to do your best in ur a levels as they are "more important" in applications than gcses
